Location The property is located on the south side of Oakleigh Park North, at the junction with Oakleigh Road North, which is to the immediate south of the church site. The High Road (A1000) is a short distance to the west of the property.

Totteridge & Whetstone Underground station (Northern Line) is less than 0.5 mile to the west and provides regular services into Central London via Charing Cross and Bank.

Oakleigh Park mainline station is just over 0.5 mile to the north east, providing regular services into Central London via Moorgate station.

Central London is approximately ten miles to the south, East Barnet is to the east and North Finchley to the south. A number of bus routes run along the nearby roads and, although located in a residential road, the property is well located for local shopping and other amenities.

Description The property comprises a traditional brick built church under a pitched tiled roof. The accommodation is largely at ground floor level, but a mezzanine floor has been added in the roof space at the east end to provide a first floor hall.

The church accommodation provides an entrance lobby, the main worship space, ground floor hall, end room, kitchen and WC facilities. There is a further hall and end room at first floor level.

As well as the main church there is a separate building known as the Friary Hall, which is a single storey brick built hall under a pitched tiled roof. The accommodation provides a small hall, stores, kitchen and WC facilities.



There is a small car park between the church and Friary Hall which is accessed off Oakleigh Park North. This provides 3 parking spaces for the church and a further 4 spaces for the residents of Davis Court.

The church has a combination of single and double glazed windows and the Friary Hall has UPVC double glazing throughout. Both properties benefit from gas fired central heating.
