5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

THE PROPERTY

Central to one of Harrow's principle roads, this handsome double-fronted Edwardian house impresses with its substantial size, high ceilings and delightful period features. Built Circa 1904, rarely do you see such an original yet superbly maintained large family home for sale, particularly one offering excellent parking plus a 100' level garden, huge attic room and potential to make even larger.

A heavy and wide front door opens to a fine entrance hall, noting the untouched encaustic tiled flooring, intricate cornicing, deep skirtings, stained glass and other period details present throughout. Further examples within this well presented property include 6 original fireplaces and many timber windows still present some 120 years after the house was built - a testament to the craftsmanship of the era and much loving care from the few owners to date.

To the ground floor are 2 large reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/dining room, a study to the front plus a further room used as a second study/playroom plus a ground floor bathroom. Upstairs is a wide landing leading to 4 generous double bedrooms and family bathroom, with a further staircase leading up to the extremely large 5th bedroom. This has ample eaves storage and potential to divide, or perhaps add an en-suite.

We must also comment on the various possibilities such a house offers, ranging from continued use as a large family home to presenting a variety of options, including to extend to the rear and further develop the attic using PD Rights or possibly sub-divide as flats, subject to obtaining planning approvals.

Outside is a fabulous rear garden perfect for family activities, being level and measuring approximately 100' long by around 30' wide. This is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area, pathway and mature planted borders. To the front the wide plot provides a generous amount of off-street parking, which comfortably accommodates 3 or more cars.

Hindes Road is a popular location in Harrow, being central yet sufficiently apart from the bustling town centre and with highly rated private and outstanding state schools close by, including Alpha Preparatory School and also John Lyon Co-Ed Nursery & Prep School. Ease of travel in to London is also attractive, with Harrow on the Hill Metropolitan/Chiltern Line Station (to Aldgate/Marylebone) and also Harrow & Wealdstone Bakerloo/Overground Station (to Euston/Watford), both within easy walking distance.

Harrow also features a choice of supermarkets including Tesco at the end of the street, 2 covered shopping centres, a Vue Cinema, gymnasiums and many other useful amenities. There are also good road links to the Home Counties and London airports, plus the new Superloop service to Heathrow and many green spaces including a local 'Green Flag' recreation park which all add to the area's attraction.
