This substantial Victorian mid-terrace offers almost 1,700 sq ft of family-sized living across four bedrooms and generous reception space. Original features — high c.3.5m ceilings, decorative cornicing, sash bay windows and fireplaces — give the house real period character and bright, airy rooms. The kitchen/diner opens via Crittall-style doors onto a sunny, west-facing courtyard garden.
Situated on a quiet, leafy stretch of Carysfort Road, the home is a short walk from Clissold Park, Church Street’s independent shops and Stoke Newington’s cafés and restaurants. Excellent local schooling and regular Overground services at Stoke Newington make this a practical choice for families who want space and character within easy reach of central London.
Buyers should note material conservation and running-cost considerations: the property is built with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, the double-glazing install date is unknown and the council tax band is described as expensive. The garden and plot are small, so outdoor space is limited compared with the house size.
The neighbourhood is popular with well-qualified professionals but shows mixed local indicators — pockets of deprivation and an above-average crime rate. For buyers prepared to update thermal performance and personalise finishes, the house presents strong long-term appeal and flexible family accommodation in a desirable Stoke Newington location.
