- Three‑storey mid‑19th century Victorian house with period features
This three‑storey mid‑19th century Victorian house in the Driffield Road Conservation Area blends preserved period detail with a recent high‑spec renovation. The accommodation includes four bedrooms across three floors, a mansard loft suite, and an extended kitchen‑diner beneath a glass roof that opens by bi‑fold doors to a low‑maintenance rear garden. High‑end finishes include granite worktops, integrated appliances, Accoya front door and bespoke fittings; air conditioning serves the kitchen and top‑floor bedroom for added comfort.
The house retains authentic features — sash windows, column radiators, coving, ceiling roses and decorative fireplaces — while modern interventions create practical family living and entertaining space. The upstairs layout includes a full‑width principal bedroom, a contemporary family bathroom with distinctive hexagonal tiling, and a private top‑floor bedroom suite with walk‑in closet and en‑suite.
Important practical points: the property is a solid‑brick mid‑terrace constructed before 1900 and assumed to have no cavity insulation; council tax is above average and the local area records higher crime and deprivation indices. Plot and garden are modest in size, typical of inner‑London terraces. The home is offered chain‑free and is within walking distance of Victoria Park, local schools with strong ratings, and good public transport links to central London.
This house suits a family seeking period character with contemporary convenience, or a buyer wanting a turnkey, centrally located London home. Buyers who prioritise larger outdoor space or lower local crime statistics should note the modest garden and the higher local crime indicators when viewing.
