Description
Offered at auction on 17 December 2026, this freehold three-bedroom semi-detached house is close to Barnet town centre, with High Barnet Underground station stated to be 0.2 miles away. The ground floor has an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room and fitted kitchen, while the first floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom. The listing states that the kitchen is contemporary and that the property has double glazing and gas central heating via radiators.
Outside, the front garden may offer scope to create off-street parking, subject to the necessary checks. The rear garden is stated to extend more than 100 feet. Refurbishment or extension is identified as a possible route to adding value, with feasibility to be verified. The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with binding contracts exchanged at the point of sale; buyers should review the legal pack and auction terms, including applicable fees.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This bay-fronted three-bedroom house has a strong renovation canvas: two reception spaces, a long rear garden and a location close to Barnet town centre and High Barnet Tube. The pictured interiors have dated finishes, worn flooring and staining or patching in several rooms, while the garden needs substantial clearance and improvement. The listing also mentions potential for extension and off-street parking, though neither is confirmed as feasible.
At £425,000, the value position cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. This is being sold by auction, so bidding can take the hammer above the guide and the eventual price may not stay at this level. The overall WHOTS score is 47/100, grade E: the house has useful fundamentals and scope to improve, but the missing area data and limited evidence on value leave the opportunity hard to rate confidently.
Key opportunities
- Rework the two reception spaces and refresh the dated finishes and worn flooring to create a more cohesive interior.
- Clear and redesign the long rear garden, making better use of its stated 100+ ft length.
- Explore the listing’s stated potential for extension or off-street parking, subject to checking feasibility, access and permissions.
Key risks
- The pictured interiors and neglected garden point to a substantial multi-area programme; allow for a full project schedule rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Visible wall and ceiling staining or patching appears in several pictured rooms; investigate the cause and extent before committing.
