A three-bedroom "time warp" bungalow with a serving hatch, an outdoor swimming pool and interiors dating back to the 1970s has gone on the market for £925,000.

The property in Barnet, North London, is within walking distance of two stations and two schools, and there are also some parks nearby.

The home's main features are a lounge/diner open plan, a conservatory and a large garden with a swimming pool.

Its dated interior includes a kitchen with a wooden slated ceiling and walls, as well as a serving hatch.

The living room, also in 70s style, has a green carpet and green-coloured walls, with a large fireplace surrounded by bricks.

The whole property, including the bathrooms, needs to be refurbished, estate agent Mantlestates said.

The family bathroom has an avocado suite and patterned green wall tiles, as well as a stained glass window.

There is also a separate smaller toilet with a black WC and sink, as well as a black toilet roll holder on the dated tiled walls.

By climbing a ladder, you can reach a loft room overlooking the rear of the property and featuring a circular window.

The front of the property features a spacious driveway where the new owners and any of their guests will be able to park their cars.

The rear garden is overgrown but not in a state of disrepair, as it can probably be fixed by gardening experts easily.

There are some small trees that require being looked at, including watering and trimming.

At the back of the property, there is also a swimming pool but it appears covered and, based on the photos published by the estate agent, it seems in need of repair.
