PROPERTY DETAILS
A handsome end terrace period house standing on a generous corner plot with delightful gardens and a large detached garage, in Harrow's most-favoured 'County Road' . This beautiful house impresses with its substantial size and a wealth of original period features, including high ceilings, fireplaces, cornicing and stained glass windows typical of the era.
Of great appeal to anyone looking for a spacious and characterful family home, this is a bright property which benefits greatly from its corner position and a larger footprint. Reputedly the original builder's own home, the 'Love Hearts' in the stained glass windows were a romantic gesture to his wife and the splendid original encaustic floor tiles preserved in the hallway are another rare feature.
Downstairs the accommodation flows nicely, with 3 generous living rooms plus a well fitted kitchen. To the first are 4 good size bedrooms and a bathroom, with modern conveniences including gas-fired central heating throughout. Additionally, there is a large attic space which is suitable for future conversion, and also the possibility to extend the ground floor (subject to permitted rights or planning consent).
Outside, the rear garden is pretty and very well kept with a patio area, lawn, well-stocked borders and wide side access path. There is a further useful area to the rear with timber garden shed and a path leading from the garage up to the house. The large detached garage is a particular feature and unusual to find locally, ideal for car storage, parking, a workshop or other uses.
Devonshire Road is the first 'County Road' reached as you leave the town centre, making it an extremely convenient location. Harrow is an attractive area with great connections to London and an interesting variety of property dating from Edwardian times to contemporary buildings. A vibrant and progressive town, it has 2 covered shopping centres and many High Street stores, plus a choice of major supermarkets and leisure facilities including a multi-screen Vue Cinema, restaurants, bars, gymnasiums and Harrow Recreation Park close by.
The excellent public transport facilities include Harrow on the Hill Metropolitan/Chiltern Line and Harrow & Wealdstone Bakerloo/Main Line stations, both providing fast journey times to the City. The major road network and London airports are also very accessible and the borough is well known for having many highly regarded state, church and private schools. An excellent choice for working people and families, with something here for all ages and interests.
