Lyonsdown Road, New Barnet

PROJECT FOR MODERNISATION: A large detached 1960's family home with considerable potential in a desirable location, close to good schools, transport links and other amenities. GUIDE PRICE: £800,000-£850,000. No chain.

Overall Description - This large chain-free detached house was built in the mid sixties and has been owned by the same family since 1969, so over 55 years. The property is now in need of complete internal modernisation, but has plenty of scope for internal reconfiguration and even extension (subject to consent) to re-imagine the ultra modern family home that it was back in its hey-day. There is plenty of living accommodation, with four double bedrooms (the master with an en-suite) and a bathroom on the top floor. Downstairs there is a spacious entrance hall, cloakroom, large sitting/dining room with sliding doors to the garden and galley kitchen. Here there is scope for a more open-plan layout to better suit today's lifestyles and there is also potential to convert the good-sized garage into further living accommodation, perhaps a family TV room, large home office or fifth bedroom with en-suite. The property has plenty of parking on the driveway to the front and a side gate leading to a low-maintenance, west facing back garden. This property has no onward chain and is being sold by Informal Tender, with a Guide Price of £800,000-£850,000 and a deadline for "Best & Final Offers" of 12 noon on Thursday 2nd October. We have Open House viewings from 10am to 11am on Saturday the 20th and Saturday the 27th of September, so please call to book in a time slot.
