Description

Located on a desirable residential street in North Watford, this three-bedroom semi-detached property presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment. While it boasts traditional appeal alongside modern amenities, there is potential for further enhancement to truly maximize its value. The ground floor features an entrance porch leading into a hallway, with a spacious living room and an open kitchen/dining area that could benefit from contemporary updating. A separate utility room adds functionality, while the downstairs W.C. offers convenience for families. Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms can serve various needs, complemented by a family bathroom accessed from the central landing. External features include off-street parking for several vehicles and a garage that has been partially converted into an office space—ideal for those looking to work from home or require additional hobby space. The expansive rear garden is a standout feature with its maintained lawn and patio area, perfect for outdoor leisure activities and social gatherings. At the far end lies a detached summer house/studio equipped with lighting and electrics, presenting versatile usage options such as a gym, bar, or creative workspace. With double glazing and gas central heating already in place, this property is in solid condition but still holds significant potential for further updates that could yield impressive returns. Its prime location allows easy access to North Watford and Watford Junction Stations, ensuring quick transport links into London Euston along with proximity to major motorways like the M1 and M25. Additionally, it sits within the catchment area of well-regarded schools and is conveniently near local shops and the lively Watford High Street.
