The Crescent, Monken Hadley Common, EN5

A large and impressive family home with great potential in a prestigeous location opposite Monken Hadley Common and Hadley Woods.

Overall Description

This large and impressive detached house, set well back from the road in a good-sized plot, was built in 1970 to a Queen Anne style, typical of many of the grand homes in this exclusive part of North London. Upstairs the property has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, one being en-suite to the master bedroom. Downstairs there is a spacious entrance hall, cloakroom, large dual-aspect sitting room with French doors out to the garden, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and boot room/utility. To the side of the house is the large double garage and workshop. The property would benefit from internal modernisation and also offers considerable scope for extension and remodelling should buyers so wish, subject to the usual consents. Outside there is a large driveway with ample parking space and a side gate leading to a good-sized and surprisingly private garden, with large patio, central lawn and mature trees. If you are looking for a large family home with great potential, close to excellent local amenities, schools and transport links in one of the more sought after locations in the area, then viewing is highly recommended. The property is being sold with no onward chain. We have an Open Day from 12 noon to 1pm on Saturday the 14th of September, so please call to book a viewing.
