About
Extremely rare for the area, 31A Oakwood Avenue is a detached family house with three bedrooms, a garage, two WCs - one upstairs, one down - and off-road parking for at least two vehicles.
The property is situated within a 10-minute walk from Elstree & Borehamwood train station (zone 6), Shenley Road shops, Tesco hypermarket and several "Good" and "Outstanding" Ofsted rated schools including Yavneh and Monksmead The house, while sound and fully functional, could benefit from some cosmetic work - the ground floor flooring has been stripped back to its tiles/concrete and upstairs to its boards; the kitchen and bathroom are in need of modernising, and the garage requires extensive work to fulfil its potential.
However, 'potential' is the optimum word; 31A Oakwood Avenue has so much of it, and to reflect the investment required to achieve its Zenith the asking price for this detached corner-house has been lowered to £650,000.
