THE PROPERTY
| Proceedable Buyers Only, please | Requiring Modernisation and ideally located in highly sought Gerard Road, this impressive 2,700sq/ft semi-detached period house offers tremendous potential. Built in the early 1900's with high ceilings & graceful over-size rooms, it has ample space to extend with a long detached garage to the side, ample driveway and very large gardens.
A rewarding project for the right buyer, this is also a rare chance to create your ideal family home in one of Central Harrow's most desired residential roads. A large reception hall with fireplace welcomes you, with a 30' living room and separate 17' dining room confirming the grand scale of this house. Upstairs are 6 bedrooms arranged over 2 floors, and many period features have been retained throughout including the wide staircase, fireplaces, some original timber flooring and wood-panelled walls.
The plot is unusually long and wide with a detached timber garage & store set to the side, giving potential to extend and create a double-fronted house (subject to consent). Gerard Road has long been highly regarded within the Harrow area, being a street of substantial homes in a highly convenient location central for the town and transport including Underground & Overground stations with Metropolitan, Chiltern and Main Line services to central London. Many highly rated private and state schools are also close by, including Co-ed schools such as Orley Farm Prep School and John Lyon School on Harrow on the Hill.
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.
