A spacious five-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached house in the sought-after ‘Lakes’ Conservation Area, recently renovated and extending to about 2,121 sq ft. The house combines original period character — high corniced ceilings, sash-style bay windows and working fireplaces — with a large contemporary kitchen/diner extension flooded with light from remote-controlled skylights and a substantial glazed roof. Practical upgrades include new conservation-grade front windows, a new slate roof, a Valiant gas boiler (2019), new consumer electrical boards and a fully working hard-wired multi-zone alarm.
The ground floor layout works well for family life: two generous reception rooms, a bright open-plan kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors to a paved patio, and wooden floors providing continuity. The loft conversion provides two further double bedrooms and a second high-spec bathroom, making flexible sleeping arrangements possible for children, guests or a home office. The rear garden extends to around 77 ft, is mostly lawn with a large patio for entertaining, and has side access.
Location strengths suit families: quiet conservation-area streets, low local crime, fast broadband, decent mobile signal and easy access to Palmers Green Overground and Southgate tube. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, plus nearby parks and local shops. The property is freehold and set in a very affluent neighbourhood which supports long-term value.
Notable practical points to consider: the house has just two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which may be limiting for larger families. The walls are original solid brick and assumed to have no built-in insulation, so additional insulation works could be required to improve thermal performance. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Despite recent sympathetic renovation, buyers should inspect services and fabric to confirm scope of any further improvements.
