Detached house for sale in Claremont Road, Barnet EN4

Nestled in the heart of Hadley Wood and surrounded by mature trees, this detached home has the feeling of a secluded woodland cottage while being moments from the centre of this prestigious North London suburb.

A generous hallway leads you from the front door to the open-plan kitchen, where wooden units and ceiling beams hold a certain an old-fashioned charm.

Large windows in the breakfast area overlook the back garden, and to the side there are glazed doors opening onto the raised patio area. This space is ideal for an informal BBQ or a glass of wine in the evening.

A small series of steps lead down onto a further paved area and the remainder of the garden where the enclosed lawn, tall trees and mature shrubs give a real sense of privacy.

The large lounge diner also opens out onto the patio at one end, while at the other there is a large bay window and fireplace, making this a very warm and cosy spot to relax at the end of the day.

The ground floor is completed by a utility room which links the breakfast area to the garage, and a guest cloakroom with additional storage which is accessed from the hallway.

A window at the midpoint of the carpeted stairs adds natural light to the hallway and landing.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two storage cupboards.

The main bedroom suite has a very good size bedroom with built-in wardrobes running the length of one wall and windows across the front of the house. The en-suite bathroom is very spacious and a perfect space to unwind at end of the day. Why not treat yourself to a candlelit bath and feel the difference the water softener makes?

The three remaining bedrooms are all good sizes with the smallest being perfect for a guest bedroom or a home office - very handy especially if you need to work from home regularly.

The bathroom has a white three-piece suite and vibrant blue tiling – great for waking you up in the morning!

To the front of the house is a small, well-manicured garden with attractive shrubs and driveway parking for one car. The garage is very long so it can be used for storage as well as housing a car.

High quality Amtico flooring runs through the ground floor, while the upstairs is carpeted. There is gas central heating and double glazing throughout.

The local area could not be better for the families.

If you don’t feel like cooking then The Duke of York gastro pub is just five minutes away. For sports enthusiasts Hadley Wood Golf Club and Tennis Club are a short walk away.

If you need to go into the office then you can get from nearby Hadley Wood Overground Station to Moorgate in half an hour. Monken Hadley Wood Common and Hadley Wood are great for just getting some fresh air or walking the dog.

And of course, with Hadley Wood Primary School just around the corner you can avoid the school run!
