- Freehold commercial mews house, 1,590 sq ft
- Approved planning: 3-storey townhouse, work/live, five-bed residence
- Potential to split into two houses (precedent in mews)
- Double-height ceiling, exposed beams, abundant natural light

- No garden or garage; no outdoor space on site
- High-crime area — factor security and management costs
- Requires conversion/refurbishment to achieve residential use
A sizable freehold mews house with approved planning, 12 Blackstock Mews offers clear development upside in a prime N4 location. The property’s double-height ceiling, large industrial-style windows and open-plan floors create an immediate sense of space and light — ideal for a contemporary townhouse, work/live unit or conversion into two separate homes as seen elsewhere in the mews.
Approved planning permission includes conversion to a three-storey townhouse/work-live unit and a five-bedroom residence, giving a buyer multiple routes to add value. The 1,590 sq ft footprint and spacious rooms provide flexibility for reconfiguration and fit-out; the building’s exposed beams, brick and wooden floors suit a high-spec residential or creative commercial scheme.
Practical considerations are straightforward: this is a refurbishment and conversion opportunity rather than a move-in-ready home. There is no dedicated garden or garage, and the property sits within a high-crime area — security and ongoing management should be factored into budgets. The unit is within a gated mews which helps security but will not remove wider neighbourhood issues.
Transport and local amenities strongly support rental or resale value. PTAL 6a, excellent broadband and mobile signal, and close proximity to Finsbury Park, Arsenal and Highbury & Islington stations make the location attractive to professionals and families. Nearby high-quality local shops, markets and parks add lifestyle appeal once converted.
