3 bed end terrace house for sale

Balmoral Road, London NW2

Quick! Price Up The Bi-Fold Doors! You’ll never get a better chance to put your own stamp on a versatile Victorian end-terrace. This spacious family home is perfect for some creative remodelling to create a superb combination of old and new.

The Victorians knew how to build things to last, so this is a well-built property with generous room sizes throughout.

They also knew about making family homes. But things have moved on in the last 100 years, so there’s scope for a little reconfiguration to make this family home better equipped to cope with our busy modern lives.

You’ll love the spacious lounge that retains its traditional reception room charm. The bay window allows lots of natural light and the original fireplace and ornate coving adds to the character of the room. There’s a small snug at the back of the room which could be ideal for a more private seating area or the perfect place for a piano.

If formal dining is your thing, there’s a separate dining room at the back of the property, with French doors heading out to the low-maintenance back garden.

It’s unusual in that the dining room is at the rear with the kitchen between it and the lounge - normally the two reception rooms are together at the front.

But the unusual layout could play into your hands if you’re thinking of opening up the ground floor.

Compared to the generous room sizes elsewhere, the kitchen is quite small. It’s also in need of a freshen-up, which is where you can get creative.

Opening up the kitchen and dining room would allow you to create a much more sociable space for cooking, eating and relaxing together.

Give the garden a bit of a makeover, replace the French doors with some trendy bi-folds and you could have a superb space for enjoying the afternoon and evening sun.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, the family bathroom, and a separate w/c.

Some people love the flexibility of having the bathroom and w/c separate, others prefer to have one larger space. Combining them wouldn’t be too much trouble if you were in the latter group.

If you have a car, there’s residents on-street parking.

That said, you may not need a car as there can’t be many places with better transport links. Willesden Green station is only 10 minutes away and you can be at Bond Street in only 13 minutes.

Nearby Brondesbury station is on the Overground, which is handy for getting out to Richmond, Stratford and East London.

It’s only a 5-minute walk to a fabulous choice of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, and bars on Willesden High Road. There’s Deli Beira with its famous Portuguese Delta Coffee and Lezziz Charcoal Grill with its best Turkish kebabs & gyros.

You’re also in a handy spot if you like to get out into the fresh air. Gladstone Park is around 10 minutes walk away with plenty of organised activities and events to entertain all ages.

If you have children, you can say goodbye to school run and parking stress. You’ve got a choice of “Good” or “Outstanding” early years schools all within walking distance.

If you’re looking for a Victorian terrace where you're excited by the prospect of taking a spacious blank canvas and making it your own, you need to arrange a viewing.

Whether you’re looking to just give it a quick freshen-up or are thinking of making more substantial changes, this project really is one where the more you put in, the more you’ll get out.

I’m expecting plenty of interest from buyers looking for a period property project.
