This mid terrace three bedroom house in Palmers Green is an ideal family home. With a large south-facing garden, the original layout untouched, and several original features in place, it offers fantastic potential for updating and adding value.

This mid terrace house is in a good condition throughout and has retained its original layout and many period features. The ground floor has a front living room, a dining room and kitchen at the rear, and an understairs WC. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The living room has a traditional feel, with a circular bay window, a ceiling rose and cornicing, and an original panelled door. The room is carpeted and has a gas fire. Measuring 16’6” by 12’7” there’s plenty of space for sofas and more. The rear dining room also has a gas fire and is carpeted, and has a floor to ceiling bay window with French doors that provide garden views and open onto the paved terrace making this space ideal for entertaining. The terrace can also be accessed directly via a door from the kitchen which is galley-style, with fitted cabinets, freestanding appliances, and tiled walls that make it a practical and pleasant space for food prep.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms have bay windows. The main front bedroom has a large circular bay, the second double has a smaller bay window that overlooks the garden, and the single bedroom has a small bay with a street view. The main bedroom is spacious, measuring 16’6” by 12’7”, and has a wall of fitted wardrobes. It has wood laminate flooring as does the single bedroom, whilst the second double bedroom is carpeted and has an original cast iron fireplace with an ornate tiled surround.

Outside, the paved front garden has a low retaining brick wall, and the south-facing rear garden is ideally orientated to maximise sunshine. This comprises a large, paved terrace adjacent to the rear of the house, a long lawn bordered by paths and planting including a specimen tree, and a second paved terrace at the end with a large shed.

The property has been well-maintained and is in a good condition throughout with double glazing, gas central heating, and pale neutral décor.
