Located on a leafy residential avenue in the heart of North Finchley close to shops and the tube station, this substantial five-bedroom Victorian terraced house has a 40 ft garden, a garden studio and plenty of potential to add value.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

With a smart white stucco frontage and decorative timbered gable the house has great kerb appeal. Inside, the sheer scale of this 2,300 square foot property is impressive. The ground floor alone is 937 sq ft, boosted to 1,183 sq ft by the sizeable garden studio. The first floor is 836 sq ft, and the second (loft) floor 282 sq ft. For such a large house the layout is excellent; with great flow between the rooms it offers lots of flexibility to suit a variety of families and lifestyles.

The ground floor comprises a 28ft-long front living room (originally two rooms), a rear garden room with garden views and a door to the deck, a separate kitchen, WC, and a lean-to utility room which also has a door to the garden. The first floor is home to four bedrooms, three of which are large doubles, and a family bathroom, whilst the top (loft) floor houses the fifth (double) bedroom and an en suite shower room.

The property is in need of updating and is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to make a good size house their own. Currently the house has mainly white décor, a mixture of wood laminate flooring and carpet, a fitted kitchen, modern sanitaryware, and some original features. It has double glazing and gas central heating.

To the rear, the 40 ft garden has a decked terrace adjacent to the house, astroturf lawn bordered by beds, to a second terrace, a store and an attached garden studio. The studio is brick-built and has a pitched tiled roof. With a central door flanked by two windows and an electricity supply it’s suited to several uses.

Overall this is desirable for its location, size and potential for further modernisation and development.

Offered chain free.

LOCAL LIFE

The house is ideally situated on a popular tree-lined avenue just a ten minute stroll from the many amenities along the thriving High Road in the centre of North Finchley, including a range of local independent shops, cafes, high-end stores such as Waitrose, and the award-winning artsdepot cultural centre known for its gallery, shows, and community events.

There are several highly regarded state primary and secondary and private schools nearby, such as Summerside Primary School, Moss Hall Infant and Junior Schools, and St Michael’s Grammar School.

The area has plenty of parks, green spaces such as Coppetts Wood and Friary Park, and a lot of leisure facilities. David Lloyd Finchley is a five minute walk.

Transport links are good, with West Finchley tube station (0.7 miles) offering fast, direct Northern Line services into central London, and the North Circular Road a couple of minutes’ drive away.
