Cockfosters Road, Hadley Wood, EN4

This chain-free three-bedroom period terrace has two reception rooms, a separate lean-to conservatory and a compact bathroom. The living room retains a working Victorian-style open fireplace. The kitchen and bathroom are described as needing updating, while other areas would benefit from cosmetic modernisation, leaving scope to refresh the house while retaining its period character. The layout could be altered subject to the necessary consents. Previous planning permission for a first-floor extension above the kitchen has lapsed; if a suitable proposal were approved, it could allow a larger bathroom and a reconfigured third bedroom. Architect-drawn plans are also available for extending the kitchen into the existing conservatory space. These proposals would need to be checked for feasibility and current permissions. At the front is a planted garden with scope to consider parking, subject to planning approval. The rear garden is notably long and secluded, with mature trees, established borders, paved areas, a large patio and two sheds. It offers room for landscaping or other personalisation. Trent Park, Cockfosters, local shops, restaurants and transport links are nearby, with Hadley Wood station and the M25 also within reach.
