Penn Road, London, N7

A Substantial five bedroom Victorian House

Description

An impressive early Victorian semi-detached residence, beautifully reimagined through architectural and interior design, offering nearly 3,000 sq ft across four meticulously renovated floors. The result of an extensive back-to-brick restoration, this striking family home blends period charm with contemporary elegance.

Set behind wide stone steps and benefiting from off-street parking, the home’s commanding façade sets the tone for what lies within. The raised ground floor features a study and formal reception room, both anchored by dual original marble fireplaces. Period details abound, including cast iron radiators, oak herringbone parquet flooring, sash windows with shutters, intricate coving, and restored cornicing.

The expansive lower ground floor is the heart of the home, a luxurious bespoke kitchen extension with a large stone island, quartz countertops, matte white cabinetry, birch ply detailing, and underfloor heating. Design highlights include concrete tiles, exposed brickwork, and Crittall-style bi-fold doors that open out to a beautifully landscaped west-facing garden stretching nearly 90 feet. This level also includes a separate utility room, pantry, full bathroom, and a flexible family room or additional bedroom. With its own private entrance, this floor is ideal for guests or nanny accommodation. A dramatic, moody staircase leads to the first floor, where two generous bedrooms await. The second bedroom features an en-suite with handcrafted Mexican tiles and bespoke fittings. The principal suite includes custom wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with a polished cast iron roll-top bath and marble vanity. The top floor houses two additional bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, finished with a Carrara marble bath surround and matching vanity.

Additional features include side access and off street parking with electric car charging point.

The property is offered chain free.
