Bruce Castle Road, London, N17

Homes like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Lovingly cared for over the last 37 years, this handsome Victorian home has retained an exceptional amount of its original character.

Set behind a neatly maintained front garden, the house extends to approximately 1,182 sq ft and immediately impresses with its wealth of period features.

The original pine floorboards are in perfect condition and every original internal door has been carefully preserved. Each principal room retains its original fireplace, creating a home with an authenticity that is rarely found today. The original building plans, dating back to 1896, are also available, providing a fascinating glimpse into the home's history.

The ground floor offers two generous interconnecting reception rooms, both with feature fireplaces and high ceilings, providing flexible living and entertaining space. To the rear, the bright kitchen and dining room overlooks the beautifully established garden, with a charming original tiled fireplace adding further character to the space. A guest WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs are three well proportioned bedrooms, all retaining their period fireplaces, alongside a shower room and a separate WC. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, spanning the full width of the house with two large sash windows flooding the room with natural light.

Outside, the rear garden extends to approximately 35ft and has been lovingly cultivated over many years, creating a peaceful, mature setting with established planting, flowering borders and a wonderful sense of privacy.

While beautifully maintained, the property also offers exciting potential for a new owner to sympathetically modernise and extend, subject to the usual planning consents, creating a family home that blends period charm with contemporary living.
