Freehold Victorian terrace, 1,344 sq ft overall
Private south-facing garden, small plot size
Three bedrooms, one bathroom (single bathroom only)
Double glazing installed; mains gas boiler and radiators
Requires renovation throughout; excellent extension potential (STPP)
Solid brick walls (assumed no insulation) — insulation likely needed
Excellent transport links and nearby outstanding primary schools
Local area records higher-than-average crime levels
Set on sought-after Mattison Road in the Harringay Ladder, this brick-fronted Victorian terrace offers 1,344 sq ft of flexible family space and a private south-facing garden. Period features and high ceilings remain, giving a clear basis for a stylish remodel and value-adding improvements.
The layout includes three bedrooms and one bathroom across multiple storeys, with scope (STPP) to extend and create a large open-plan kitchen/living area to the rear. The property is freehold and benefits from double glazing and mains gas heating, but it currently requires renovation throughout — a practical blank canvas for buyers prepared to invest.
Location is a major strength: excellent transport links (Harringay Rail, Harringay Green Lanes Overground, Finsbury Park and Manor House tube), strong local amenities on Green Lanes and easy access to Crouch End. Several highly regarded primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, making this appealing to families.
Important drawbacks: the house needs renovation, has only one bathroom, and walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation — further insulation work may be required. The immediate area records higher crime levels than average; buyers should factor potential safety improvements and refurbishment costs into their plans.
