Roomy five-bed Victorian with period charm and strong refurbishment potential..
Over 2,300 sq ft of flexible living space across three floors
Five bedrooms and two bathrooms, suited to larger families
Victorian period features, high ceilings and bay windows throughout
Short walk to New Southgate and Arnos Grove stations
Potential for extension subject to planning permission
Requires modernisation: heating, insulation and interior updates needed
Solid brick walls with assumed no cavity wall insulation
Small rear garden; limited outdoor space
This substantial Victorian semi-detached house on Macdonald Road offers over 2,300 sq ft across three floors, suited to growing families who value space and period character. High ceilings, bay windows and original features remain throughout, and generous room proportions allow flexible living: bedrooms, studies or reception rooms can be reconfigured to suit modern family needs.
The location is a genuine strength: New Southgate station is about an eight-minute walk and Arnos Grove (Piccadilly Line) around 13 minutes on foot, making commutes into central London straightforward. Good local amenities, parks and a mix of well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, supporting family life and after-school activities.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the house is a solid-brick period build with assumed lack of wall insulation, double glazing of unknown install date and a mains-gas boiler with radiators. The property presents strong refurbishment potential and room for extension subject to planning permission, but it will require investment to modernise heating, insulation and interior finishes to contemporary standards.
The rear garden is present but modest in size, so buyers should not expect large outdoor space. Overall, this freehold home suits buyers seeking a roomy period property to update and personalise in a well-connected North London neighbourhood, or investors aiming to add value through renovation and possible extension.
