The Drive, Barnet, EN5

A deceptively spacious and beautifully designed five-bedroom residence extending to over 3,700 sq ft, offering exceptional living and entertaining space across three levels, with further potential to enhance and extend.

From the moment you arrive, this striking home sets itself apart. Positioned on a prestigious road, it combines impressive scale with thoughtful design, creating a home that feels both expansive and effortlessly liveable. There is even more value to uncover. With scope to introduce electric gates, the property also offers an opportunity to further elevate its already distinguished frontage.

Step inside and you’re immediately welcomed by a generous reception hall, setting the tone for the space that unfolds. The ground floor has been designed with modern living in mind—flowing seamlessly from a formal reception area into a dedicated office space, and onward into a stunning open-plan kitchen, breakfast and dining room.

This is truly the heart of the home. Featuring high-spec Miele appliances, sleek LED lighting, and underfloor heating and triple glazing throughout, the space is bathed in natural light via a striking full-height feature window and two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto elegant Juliette balconies, all overlooking the beautifully maintained garden. A separate utility/laundry room and integral garage access complete this level.

The lower ground floor is where this home truly excels as an entertainer’s dream. A vast, versatile family space opens out through three sets of bi-fold doors directly onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Whether configured as a cinema room, gym, or games area, this level is designed for hosting and relaxation, further complemented by a shower room and cloakroom.

Upstairs, the first floor offers five well-proportioned double bedrooms and three stylish bathrooms, providing excellent accommodation for families seeking both comfort and privacy.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The expansive 120ft garden offers a wonderful sense of seclusion, with a generous patio area ideal for al fresco dining. There is exciting potential to extend the rear of the property to create an even larger reception and entertainment space. The garden itself is large enough to accommodate a swimming pool (subject to planning), while the existing summer house presents an excellent opportunity for modernisation—perfect as a studio, home office, or even a private sauna retreat.

Location

Set on one of the area’s most sought-after roads, the property is ideally positioned for both convenience and lifestyle. Oakleigh Park mainline station provides swift access into Kings Cross and Moorgate, while Totteridge & Whetstone Underground station (Northern Line) is also within easy reach. Whetstone High Road offers a wide selection of shops, cafés and restaurants, including Marks & Spencer, Waitrose and Boots.

Families are particularly well catered for, with highly regarded schools such as Sacred Heart and All Saints Primary nearby, making this an exceptional place to call home.
