This substantial period semi-detached family home in Finchley combines original Victorian/Edwardian detail with generous living space and a rare, deep rear garden of approximately 180 ft. Arranged over ground and first floors, the house includes two reception rooms, an eat-in kitchen, utility, cellar and loft, offering flexible accommodation for a growing family. The gross internal area is about 1,817 sq ft and the property is offered freehold.
The house retains many period features — bay windows, high ceilings and decorative brickwork — that give strong scope for sympathetic modernisation. There is clear potential for rear/side extension subject to planning (STPP), making this attractive to families wanting longer-term value or buyers seeking a renovation project to increase living space and resale value.
Important practical points: the property requires renovation throughout, and the walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, so heating and insulation upgrades are likely. Local amenities and Finchley Central tube are close by, several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and off-street forecourt parking is a useful convenience.
Buyers should note the area records higher-than-average crime statistics, so factor security improvements into any refurbishment budget. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flooding risk. Overall, this is a period family house with good bones and a large garden, best suited to purchasers prepared to invest in updating and capitalising on extension potential.
