Property description


Tree-lined Somerset Road is a popular residential street close to the centre of New Barnet, and this four bedroom semi-detached 1930s house occupies an elevated position on south side of the street. A large front garden with a lawn and mature shrubs and plants means the house is set well back from the road, and a wide paved drive provides easy access to the main front door and a second door to the side, both of which have three steps up.

The conversion of the garage and loft and the addition of a conservatory have transformed this house into a spacious double-fronted four bedroom, two bathroom, property with 1,758 sq ft of internal space set over three floors. The 1,030 sq ft ground floor has three large rooms, a study, and a bathroom; the 521 sq ft first floor has three bedrooms and a bathroom; and the second (loft) floor has a 208 sq ft fourth bedroom suite.

The central front door opens into a hallway with the living room and kitchen/diner to one side and the playroom, study, and shower room to the other. The living room has a serene feel with white painted flanked by built-in alcove shelves and cupboards. The fabulous large L-shaped kitchen/diner at the rear of the house has lovely garden views and easy access to the paved terrace through bifold doors and the conservatory. The kitchen is very well equipped with two walls of fitted wall and floor cabinets and an extensive worktop. Glorious garden views make this a very pleasant place for prep and dining, and the easy connections to the conservatory dining area and outside terrace create an ideal space for entertaining. Also on this floor are a playroom, which could also be a dining area, a shower room and study which form a discrete ‘wing’. With direct external access from the front and rear of the house as well as internally from the hall these rooms can easily be used as a large guest suite or nanny/granny annexe.

The first floor has two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a bathroom. The 15’92 by 12’6” main bedroom at the front of the house has a wide bay window and a wall of mirrored fitted wardrobes, the second double bedroom at the rear has leafy views, whilst the third (single) bedroom is currently used as a workspace. The second floor comprises a large, carpeted double bedroom and an en suite WC with a washbasin. The bedroom has high level leafy views through a dormer window overlooking the garden, and also has a large Velux window.

The over 100ft south-facing landscaped garden has a paved terrace and a large lawn with a wooden shed and playhouse at the end.
