Northwood – Freehold – £725,000
Full Description
A rare opportunity with exceptional potential, this detached three-bedroom bungalow, set across two generous floors, enjoys a prime position on a quiet residential street and comes with exciting scope to reimagine and extend. The current owners have already submitted a comprehensive planning application (ref: 79380/APP/2025/865 – decision pending), proposing a stunning transformation: a single-storey rear extension, hip-to-gable roof conversion with front dormer, six side-facing rooflights, Juliet balcony, garage conversion, and reconfigured fenestration. For those with a flair for design and an eye on future value, this represents an outstanding chance to create a dream home tailored to individual tastes, while significantly enhancing capital value.
At present, the home is set behind a sizeable front garden with off-street parking for two cars. A practical porch welcomes you inside, leading into a central hallway offering easy access to all principal rooms. To the front, a bright and well-proportioned 14ft bedroom benefits from a charming bay window overlooking the peaceful street. The room has already been fully replastered, giving a head start on the property's future evolution. To the rear, a spacious kitchen and a generous main living area await – currently distinct but brimming with potential for open-plan reconfiguration, creating a sociable family hub flooded with natural light.
Double doors lead out to a mature and surprisingly expansive garden; a private space perfect for alfresco dining, family gatherings, or quiet relaxation under the sun.

"After our initial meeting with Browns, we were impressed by their unique approach, which diverges from the traditional estate agent. Hertfordshire’s answer to The Modern House, setting the standard for the future of local estate agency!"
– Grant Forsyth, Local Seller
"Absolute delight to work with. To be honest, having worked with a few estate agents in the past, Browns put them all to shame. Browns were friendly, engaging and passionate, they also have a relatively unique proposition that marks them apart from every other estate agent I spoke with."
– Christopher Springall, Local Seller
"Transparency and honesty are at the forefront of their work ethic, and I would highly recommend Browns to any prospective seller or buyer."
– David Lazarus, Local Seller
"After viewing a property with Browns I thought it was refreshing to meet a very different kind of estate agent, we then went on to list our property with them and from start to finish, Browns have been amazing! Knowledgeable, professional and a new wave of estate agent which others should strive to be more like!"
– Emily Darlington, Local Seller
"Personable, knowledgeable and always willing to discuss the sale of my property and the market. After having a few less than satisfactory experiences working with other estate agents, Browns have completely changed my opinion on what estate agency is."
– Franki Alpert, Local Seller
"To say the experience with Browns was brilliant is an understatement, it was the best decision we made to go with them. It's so far removed from the traditional way estate agents work and better in every way. "
– Maiko Skorupski, Local Seller
