Description

This five-bedroom terraced house is arranged over three floors and offers approximately 1,426 sq ft of accommodation. The ground floor includes a through reception and dining room, a separate kitchen and a full-width rear lean-to currently used for additional food preparation, utility space, storage and informal dining. The lean-to opens onto the rear garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC; the loft floor provides two further bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite and eaves storage. The property has a south-facing rear garden with a patio and artificial lawn, plus a front driveway with space for two cars. The listing states that planning permission has been approved for a six-metre rear extension, which would replace the existing lean-to, subject to the approved plans and relevant consents. The owners also report air conditioning in the bedrooms and reception room. Hendon Central tube and local shops are described as being within easy reach. The selling agent is also the owner.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a bright, usable five-bedroom family house with a south-facing garden, driveway parking and a practical through reception/dining space. The kitchen and some finishes are dated but appear serviceable, making this more of a light, targeted modernisation project than a full refurbishment. The approved six-metre rear extension could add useful scope, subject to checking the consent and its conditions.

At £850,000, the asking price is about 7.4% above the local £/sqf average, so price is a weakness rather than a bargain. The overall economics also look tight: purchase and works together compare unfavourably with local benchmarks, although the extension potential and family-friendly features may appeal to a buyer with a clear plan.

All-in costs deserve a mention: works on top of purchase push the economics into a tighter band versus area norms — around 8% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. Not necessarily a deal-breaker for a project buyer, but it caps the headline score.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and older bedroom finishes selectively while retaining the clean, usable reception spaces.
  • Explore the approved six-metre rear extension after verifying the planning consent and conditions.
  • Make the most of the south-facing garden, two-car driveway and flexible lean-to for family living.

Key risks

  • The asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and purchase-plus-works economics look tight against local benchmarks.
