Description

Nestled on a tranquil tree-lined street, this substantial four-bedroom Victorian family residence presents an opportunity for those looking to invest in a property rich with character and potential. Having been cherished by the same family for over 25 years, it boasts numerous original features that add charm, such as intricate cornicing, a beautifully restored stained glass front door, and ornate fireplaces. The spacious entryway welcomes you with impressive ceiling heights. The West-facing reception room enjoys generous natural light from its large bay window and is ideal for afternoon relaxation. Adjacent to it is a versatile second reception room that can be transformed into a larger double space or maintained as separate rooms based on your needs. The kitchen connects seamlessly to the dining area and overlooks the rear garden—a peaceful retreat featuring a cherry blossom tree and manicured lawn. The lower ground floor offers additional utility space along with an office/bedroom and shower room, complete with its own entrance, presenting potential for conversion into an independent living space or annex. On the first floor, you will find three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a master suite filled with natural light from dual windows, further enhanced by period features like cornicing and a fireplace. A separate W/C retains its original Victorian sink amid charming architecture. The second floor houses a family bathroom and another bedroom that lends itself to picturesque views of the rear garden. Moreover, significant opportunity exists in the expansive loft area which could potentially be converted into additional living space under planning permissions. Surrounded by local amenities at Highbury Barn and just a short walk from Upper Street's boutique offerings, this home is also ideally suited for outdoor enthusiasts with nearby Highbury Fields and Clissold Park. With multiple transport links within easy reach—including Highbury & Islington station—you have access to both the Victoria Line and London Overground for quick city commutes.
