Warham Road, London, N4

Set over three floors and available to be bought Chain Free, this four bedroom Victorian home offers generous proportions, excellent potential and a prominent position on one of the Harringay Ladder’s most popular streets.

The house offers a large double reception room with good ceiling height and natural light, alongside a 20ft kitchen diner to the rear. There is also a sizeable basement level providing useful storage, a ground floor WC and four bedrooms arranged across the upper floors, alongside a family bathroom.

The property would suit a buyer looking to take on a project and create a long term family home, with clear potential to extend to the rear and into the loft space, subject to the usual consents.

Some structural issues have been identified relating to the rear outrigger and the seller has commissioned both a specific defect report and further advice from a structural engineer, with documentation available for review.

Professional opinion suggests the historic cracking between the main house and rear outrigger is likely attributable to differential movement between the structures rather than subsidence, with no strong evidence of significant or progressive movement identified within either the inspection findings or historic reports reviewed.

A more conservative underpinning and piling solution had previously been quoted in the region of £30,000–£33,000, however this was considered a worst case approach rather than works clearly required at this stage. It is understood that a lighter touch repair solution, such as crack stitching and making good, may prove sufficient depending on a purchaser’s future intentions for the property.

Overall, the position is considered reasonably well defined, with the issue understood and repair options ranging from relatively minor works through to more extensive intervention if desired in the future. There is currently no indication that urgent structural remediation is required. It is also fair to assume that a large part of any remedial works could naturally be absorbed into wider costings should a purchaser look to undertake a rear extension as part of a broader renovation project.
