​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.
