Description

This substantial semi-detached Victorian residence, spanning approximately 4,000 sq ft, is situated in a desirable residential crescent near Finsbury Park. The property boasts a wealth of original features alongside generous spaces distributed over three main floors, presenting a rare opportunity for renovation and investment. Behind its attractive period exterior lies an expansive interior characterized by impressive ceiling heights, large bay windows, and original fireplaces that define the primary living areas. The semi-detached design provides excellent lateral space that is uncommon in the area. Currently configured as a traditional Victorian family home, it features spacious reception rooms and ample depth at the rear, allowing for potential reconfiguration and expansion (subject to planning permissions). Upon entering, you are greeted by a wide hallway leading to an expansive front reception room with abundant natural light from the prominent bay window. There is substantial potential to create a modern open-plan kitchen and living area while maintaining a formal reception room at the front—perfect for contemporary living. Additional amenities on this level include a utility room and guest cloakroom. The first floor continues to impress with three large double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite over 22 ft long, complemented by other well-sized bedrooms and family bathroom facilities. Noteworthy ceiling heights and bay windows enhance the architectural attributes on this floor. On the second floor, flexibility abounds with current arrangements featuring multiple bedrooms and a study adjacent to a sizeable kitchen space. This layout offers considerable scope for creating additional bedroom suites or even transforming it into an independent guest level. Throughout the property, original architectural details remain intact, providing an excellent foundation for thoughtful restoration work. With approximately 3,754 sq ft (348.8 sq m) of internal space available for innovative redesigns or enhancements, this property represents a significant canvas ripe for transformation into an elegant family home tailored to modern standards. The opportunity here is unique; properties of this magnitude in such a prime location are increasingly rare on the market. Enhancing and extending this home while preserving its period charm could yield a refined residence that meets contemporary demands perfectly. Set quietly between Finsbury Park and Stroud Green, residents can enjoy easy access to both green spaces and vibrant local amenities including cafés and shops along Stroud Green Road. Transport links are superb with Finsbury Park Station offering multiple lines for quick access across London including direct routes to King’s Cross.
