This five-bedroom terraced house on Castle Road offers bright, flexible accommodation over three floors and a private rear garden. Large windows and high ceilings give the principal rooms strong natural light, while two reception rooms provide separate living and dining areas suited to family life. Planning permission is already granted to build a one‑storey residence in the garden, creating clear scope to add value or extend living space (subject to building regulations).
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, chain-free sale, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working. The property sits close to Kentish Town and Camden Town transport links and is in catchment for a number of well-regarded schools, which will appeal to families.
Buyers should note material considerations: the house is in a very deprived, high-crime area and council tax is above average (Band E). The construction era (late 1960s–1970s) and assumed uninsulated cavity walls suggest energy-efficiency upgrades and possible refurbishment are needed. The rear garden and plot are small, so outdoor space is limited despite the granted planning permission.
Overall this is a practical inner-London family home with short-term rental or longer-term improvement potential for buyers prepared to invest in modernization and safety measures. The planning consent provides a tangible option to increase footprint and future value, while the location keeps schools, shops and transport within easy reach.
