Colney Hatch Lane, London, N10

Set behind an elegant late Victorian façade, this substantial semi detached house on Colney Hatch Lane N10 spans close to 2,640 sq ft (inc loft and cellar) across two principal levels, four in total including the basement and loft. With five bedrooms and a family bathroom, it represents a rare opportunity to reimagine a period home of exceptional volume and potential.

Internally, the layout includes two formal reception rooms with high ceilings, ornate cornicing and original fireplaces, alongside a generous kitchen dining room opening directly onto a mature south west facing garden of close to 140 ft. There is also off street parking to the front for 2-3 cars, a valuable asset for the area.

The property’s configuration lends itself to several exciting possibilities. The extensive basement could be converted into further living space, gym, cinema or self contained accommodation, while the expansive loft offers an additional 427 sq ft, ideal for a principal suite or studio. Precedent has been set on the road for both loft and basement conversions, as well as side and rear extensions and even subdivision into apartments, making this an excellent opportunity for end users or investors seeking flexibility, all subject to the necessary planning and building consents.

Original period detailing remains throughout including sash windows, intricate plasterwork, deep skirting and multiple fireplaces, providing a strong architectural foundation for refurbishment. The ceiling heights and natural light enhance the impressive sense of space, while the proportions of each room allow for modern redesign without compromise.

Externally, the garden is a standout feature, deep, private and beautifully planted, with a terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Perfectly positioned moments from Muswell Hill Broadway, the house offers easy access to cafés, restaurants and boutiques, as well as sought after schools including Fortismere and Muswell Hill Primary. Green open spaces such as Alexandra Park and Highgate Wood are close by, along with excellent transport connections.

In all, a substantial and characterful home with outstanding potential, ideal for those seeking a large family house or creative redevelopment opportunity in one of North London’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
