Set on a quiet street off Philip Lane in sought-after N15, this two-bedroom Victorian semi presents a clear renovation opportunity for buyers wanting to add value. The property has solid period bones, double glazing installed post-2002, and a practical layout including a loft room that could be converted further (subject to consents).
Inside, two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit above a ground floor living area and kitchen that opens onto a paved, fenced garden — a private outdoor space well suited to entertaining or low-maintenance planting. The house is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and good mobile and broadband connectivity, making it a practical choice for modern living once updated.
Location is a key strength: less than a ten-minute walk to Seven Sisters Station with fast links into King’s Cross and central London, and close to green space at Downhills Park. Nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and the area offers a wide range of cafes, restaurants and local amenities.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property needs renovation throughout and sits in an area with high crime and very high deprivation indicators, which may affect resale timing and mortgage options. The plot is small and the house is average-sized at about 850 sq ft, so prospective purchasers should factor refurbishment costs and local market considerations into their plans.
