473 sqftDescription
This freehold building contains two self-contained flats, each with its own entrance and separate services. The ground-floor flat is approximately 473 sq ft and has a reception room, a central kitchen/diner and shower room, plus a double bedroom, storage room and rear access. It is offered with vacant possession. The one-bedroom maisonette above is arranged over the first and second floors, with a front reception room, rear kitchen and bathroom, and a double bedroom occupying the top floor. It is currently let to a tenant who has been in occupation since 1978, at £390 per calendar month.
The building has been in the same family for many decades and is now being offered for sale for the first time in a generation. The particulars describe it as requiring modernisation throughout, while noting a modern roof and double-glazed windows. Refurbishment or redevelopment may be considered, subject to the necessary consents. The property is around a five-minute walk from Bounds Green Underground and Bowes Park stations, with local shops and services nearby and Alexandra Palace and Park within walking distance.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This freehold building’s two self-contained flats, with separate entrances and services, offer a distinctive project: modernise each unit while retaining their separate layouts, or explore reconfiguration subject to the necessary consents. The photographs show dated finishes, worn flooring and localised peeling, patching and wall deterioration across several areas, so this is a substantial multi-room programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. The listing states that the roof is modern and the windows are double glazed, although the roof coverings cannot be confirmed from the photographs.
The asking price of £350,000 is about 18% above the local £/sqf average, so the price is a clear weakness. With a mid-to-substantial works programme on top, the purchase costs look stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area; that comparison is with current local averages, not a forecast of the value after renovation. Good transport links and the two-unit setup are attractive, but the numbers make this a low-opportunity project at the current price.
Key opportunities
- Modernise both flats as separate homes, building on their existing independent entrances and services.
- Rework the layouts and finishes to make better use of the ground-floor flat’s rear access and storage and the upper maisonette’s top-floor bedroom, subject to any required consents.
- Benefit from a generally intact street-facing frontage, stated modern roof and double glazing, alongside convenient access to two nearby stations.
Key risks
- The asking price plus a mid-to-substantial programme of works leaves the overall outlay stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area.
- Dated interiors and deterioration across several areas make this a heavy, multi-room job: allow for a coordinated programme of new finishes and repairs rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Budget carefully — economics look thin after allowing for the asking price and a non-cosmetic works programme — roughly 31% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
