What the owner loves:

The property was purchased by mum and dad circa 40 years ago. My grandparents resided a few doors down on The Ridings from the 50s onwards, so the memories of this wonderful street and community go back a long way!

The Ridings was where I grew up as a child and it was my son's first home. I have many amazing memories wrapped up in the place - it’s like a peaceful sanctuary of escapism in a busy borough, and a home full of love and fun.

Why we would buy it:

This is the sort of home you buy not just for what it is, but for what it could become. An enormous corner plot on one of the Hanger Hill (Haymills) Garden Estate’s most desirable roads is a rare thing.

The sheer scale of the plot, paired with a double garage and true development potential, makes this an unusually flexible asset: a future family home that can grow as life does, or a compelling opportunity for an investor who understands that value is often unlocked by imagination rather than compromise. The fact that it’s chain-free and comes with a Buyer Information Pack simply removes uncertainty.

Yet this is not a blank canvas stripped of soul. The Haymills Garden Estate has a quiet confidence about it - leafy roads, generous gardens and neighbours talking to each other!

The expansive garden doesn’t just offer space; it offers calm, privacy and the increasingly rare luxury of greenery that feels established rather than manufactured. There is charm here, and history too - a home that has clearly been well-positioned and enjoyed for decades, now ready for its next chapter.

Whether you see it as a long-term family anchor or a strategic development opportunity, this is a property that rewards those who can see beyond square footage and recognise the emotional pull of space, setting and potential combined.
