A charming two-bedroom Victorian terrace in Whetstone, set within a strong school catchment and only 0.4 miles from Totteridge & Whetstone tube. Period details such as cast-iron fireplaces and attic windows give the home character while a modern open-plan living room and fitted kitchen make it ready to occupy.
The property is freehold with sensible running costs: double glazing, mains gas boiler and fast broadband. A low-maintenance east-facing rear garden suits busy families, and nearby cafes, restaurants and shops add everyday convenience. Excellent local primaries (including Alma and St John’s) and highly ranked secondaries make this a practical choice for parents.
Practical considerations: the house sits on a small plot with on-street parking only, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. Crime in the local area is above average. There is potential to extend to the rear and into the loft, subject to planning (STPP), which could increase living space and value but will require permissions and budget.
This home will suit young families and commuters seeking character, good schools and rapid access to Northern line services. A buyer should commission a survey to check services and structure before committing, and allow for potential insulation or renovation works if improved thermal performance is required.
