Spacious Victorian period home with south-west garden — renovation opportunity near Finsbury Park.
Large Victorian mid-terrace: 1,471 sq ft over multiple floors
This large Victorian mid-terrace offers 1,471 sq ft of period space in a quiet N7 street, ideal for a family seeking scale and character near Finsbury Park. High ceilings, original features and generous room proportions give scope to create bright, flexible living across multiple floors. The south-west facing garden adds outdoor space and afternoon sun despite the property’s small plot footprint.
The house is sold freehold and requires renovation throughout: kitchens, bathrooms and general decoration will need updating. Energy efficiency is low (EPC rating E) and exterior walls are solid brick with no built-in insulation, so upgrading thermal performance is likely during works. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not meet current efficiency standards.
Location is a strong asset: quick access to Finsbury Park and Arsenal stations, plentiful local amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools close by. There is no flood risk and mobile and broadband connections are strong, supporting modern family life. Buyers should note council tax is described as expensive and the surrounding area scores as relatively deprived, which may affect resale or rental expectations.
This property suits a family or buyer wanting a substantial period home to remodel and personalise. It offers clear renovation potential and long-term value drivers from location and size, balanced by immediate refurbishment and energy-improvement costs.
