End-of-terrace Victorian on Jesus (Green) Hospital Estate conservation area
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street within the Jesus (Green) Hospital Estate conservation area, this end-of-terrace Victorian house combines period character with considered contemporary reconfiguration. The ground floor’s open-plan layout and large sash windows deliver generous natural light and a sociable living/dining/kitchen flow, while skylights and a vaulted ceiling upstairs amplify volume and brightness. The property is chain-free and offered freehold, making it straightforward for an onward move.
Accommodation works well for a first-time buyer or small family: two proper double bedrooms plus a flexible study/guest room could serve as a third bedroom or home office. The rear courtyard garden provides a private outdoor retreat, and practical improvements such as double glazing (pre-2002) and mains gas central heating are already in place. Local life centres on Columbia Road, Shoreditch and nearby green spaces, with excellent transport links to the City.
Buyers should note the material facts plainly: the house has a single bathroom on the ground floor, an EPC rating of E, and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. Some windows are original sash and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — further thermal and energy upgrades may be needed. The property dates from the 1930s–40s period of construction and has a small plot size, so external space is limited.
There is scope to reconfigure parts of the upper level (subject to planning and party-wall considerations) to change the reception into a bedroom if a purchaser needs three full upstairs bedrooms. Council tax sits in Band E. Overall, the house offers a characterful, light-filled London home in a highly desirable conservation enclave, suited for buyers who value location and potential and are prepared to undertake modest upgrading for long-term comfort and efficiency.
