Almost all properties in Shacklewell should be revealed. Have you tried a search with simply the postcode. Usually it will reveal all the residences inside that postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
