Pinner has an abundance of three- and four-bedroom family houses built in the Twenties and Thirties. Three-bedroom houses vary from £425,000, the asking price of a modern home in Farthings Close, to £875,000 for a detached Metro-Land house in Moss Lane. The town also has some very old houses left over from its rural past, including a Tudor cottage for sale in Wiltshire Lane for £695,000. Four-bedroom houses range from £565,000 for a terrace house in Rickmansworth Road to £1.35 million for a detached house in Grange Gardens in Pinner Village. The largest family homes range from £665,000 — the price of an extended five-bedroom interwar semi in St Michael’s Crescent — to £3,995,000 for a six-bedroom detached house in Park View Road in Pinner Hill Estate.
Travel: in Zone 5, Pinner is on the Metropolitan line and it’s a 25-minute ride to Baker Street. An annual travelcard costs £2,188. Hatch End is on the Overground in Zone 6, and trains to Euston take 38 minutes. An annual travelcard costs £2,344.
The area attracts: estate agent Liam Byrne of Gibbs Gillespie says the mix is one of local buyers and incomers, with primary school catchment areas in high demand.

Postcode: HA5 is the Pinner postcode, which also includes Hatch End and parts of Eastcote, Rayners Lane and Carpenders Park.
Best roads: estate agent Liam Byrne, also of Gibbs Gillespie, says top choices are Pinner Village, where there is a mix of inter-war cottages and family houses, and Pinner Hill Estate, where buyers can find detached houses with large gardens that sell for between £1.5 million and £6 million. The Pinner Green area around Montesole Playing Fields is also sought after. There is a large Tesco and the playing field has tennis courts and is home to Pinner Cricket Club. Byrne recently sold Elton John’s childhood home in Pinner Hill Road, which went on sale for £525,000. Most semi-detached houses in the area sell for about £625,000, or £585,000 if it is in a main road.
Up and coming: Byrne is tipping the area around Beaulieu Drive, where new state comprehensive Pinner High School opens in September next year in buildings vacated by the former private Heathfield School for Girls, which has amalgamated with Northwood College for Girls. This is an area of mainly semi-detached inter-war houses and, according to Byrne, the excitement about the new school has caused average house price to rise from about £660,000 to £750,000 in the past year. The area includes West Towers Conservation Area, a road of particularly well-detailed inter-war houses.
Staying power: Pinner has a strong local following, although some families move further out towards Beaconsfield, Gerrards Cross, Chesham, Denham and Rickmansworth.
