This spacious five-bedroom Victorian semi offers classic period character and generous living space across multiple levels — a practical family home close to Palmers Green High Street and its transport links. High ceilings, bay windows and original features create a bright, airy feel throughout the principal rooms. The house sits on a decent plot with a paved front drive and an enclosed, mature rear garden suitable for children and outdoor dining.
Practical details suit everyday family life: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed post-2002, and about 1,773 sq ft of accommodation. Nearby state schools include several rated Good and two outstanding secondaries, while local cafés, shops and Broomfield Park are within easy walking distance.
There are important considerations to note. The area records higher crime and relative deprivation compared with surrounding suburbs, and the property falls within a medium flood risk zone; prospective buyers should check insurance and local flood mitigation. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy efficiency upgrades (wall/loft insulation, possible window/boiler improvements) could be needed to reduce running costs.
Internally the layout works well but is likely to need updating in places — two bathrooms for five bedrooms may require reconfiguration for growing families, and the house presents clear scope for refurbishment to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and insulation. For buyers wanting period character with long-term value, this home offers space and location with hands-on improvement potential.
