An exceptional and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a versatile, chain-free detached dormer bungalow, proudly occupying a generous plot in the highly desirable and leafy residential enclave of Woodside Park (N12).

Offered to the market with no onward chain (with probate currently in progress), this impressive property represents a premier blank canvas opportunity. It is ideally positioned to appeal to ambitious developers seeking a highly lucrative, high-yield refurbishment project, downsizers desiring future-proofed ground-floor living with dedicated independent guest space upstairs, or growing families looking to unlock the full potential of a premium detached plot in a prime London neighborhood.

The existing layout extends to approximately 1,363 sq. ft. (126.6 sq. m.)—including the garage and ample loft areas as shown on the floorplan—and delivers outstanding flexibility across both floors.

GROUND FLOOR ACCOMMODATION

The ground floor offers bright, well-proportioned, and adaptable accommodation, perfectly configured for modern everyday living or seamless single-level accessibility. The current layout comprises two comfortable ground-floor bedrooms, a wonderfully spacious main reception room, a practical kitchen overlooking the private rear garden, a conveniently located family shower room, and a welcoming entrance hallway. The interior provides endless scope for creative re-imagining and open-plan reconfiguration, such as designing an magnificent, full-width kitchen/dining/family garden room (STPP).

FIRST FLOOR & EXTENSION POTENTIAL

A stand-out headline feature of this residence is the expansive first-floor roof accommodation, offering incredible potential to add significant capital value. Currently arranged as a third spacious bedroom alongside a vast adjoining loft storage section, this entire level presents an ideal footprint for a complete architectural redesign. Subject to necessary planning permissions (STPP), incoming buyers can easily explore adding further double bedrooms, extra bathrooms, or an opulent principal suite.

GARDEN, DRIVEWAY & GARAGE

Outside, the property boasts a private, mature rear garden offering plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, alfresco dining, or bespoke landscaping. Crucially, the plot features direct side access from front to rear—a huge logistical advantage for future building works and day-to-day garden maintenance. To the front, a private driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles, complemented by a secure garage.

CONDITION & REFURBISHMENT

The home requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, allowing a prospective purchaser to tailor every detail to their exact specification. Please note that the electrical installation retains its original 1955 wiring and will require a complete rewire and modern consumer unit update; buyers are advised to factor this into their budget. Importantly, the property benefits from a modern central heating boiler, newly installed approximately four years ago.
