Ashridge Gardens, London, N13

Occupying an elevated position on this prime street in Palmers Green, this spacious three bedroom semi has a large garden and a garage via shared drive. Combining original features and modern décor, it’s an ideal family home with plenty of potential.

With its distinctive Arts & Crafts gable and welcoming porch, this 1930s three bedroom semi is a typical example of the period. The property sits on a large plot with a deep front garden, shared drive which leads to its own garage, and a 60 ft rear garden. Although the house has been modernised, the layout has not been altered. It has a front living room, rear dining room, and kitchen on the ground floor and two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a separate bathroom and WC on the first floor. All the rooms are a good size and features to note include the wraparound corner window in the single bedroom and windows in the stairwell and the WC.

The ground floor has a wide hallway with doors to all ground floor rooms and an understairs cupboard. The approximately 14ft by 13ft front room has a traditional feel with a wide south-facing bay window, alcoves to either side of a gas fire, and a stripped wood floor. The rear dining room is a similar size (approx. 14ft by 12ft) and features an original cast iron fireplace with an ornate tiled surround, an engineered wood floor, and French windows that open onto the garden. The kitchen is thoroughly modern, with Shaker-style floor cabinets, a metro-tiled splashback, and space for a kitchen table. It also has a window with a view of the garden and a door to the garden.

Both double bedrooms are large and have wood floors. The main front bedroom has a walk-in cupboard, and the rear double bedroom has a fitted wardrobe. The third single bedroom has a charming corner window. The bathroom is fully tiled and has a Victorian style freestanding bath with a mixer shower, and a traditional freestanding washbasin. The separate WC sits alongside the bathroom.

Outside, the gently sloping front garden is gently mainly lawned and the drive is partly block-paved and gated at the top, providing privacy and security to the back garden. The garage, with side-hinge opening doors at the front and a door to the garden at the rear. It also has several windows.

The property has scope for the addition of a loft or rear extension as seen in several neighbouring properties. This would add both space and value.
