Rare freehold Victorian family house with Alexandra Palace views and strong renovation potential.
Five bedrooms plus attic study, flexible family accommodation
On the market for the first time in over 40 years, this substantial Victorian terrace on Ridge Road offers rare scope and character for a family seeking space in Crouch End. Across three main storeys plus an attic conversion, the house provides four to five bedrooms, generous reception rooms and far-reaching views toward Alexandra Palace — a memorable front and rear aspect for an inner‑London home.
Many original period features remain intact, including sash-style windows, bay fronts, high ceilings, stripped floorboards and decorative fireplaces, giving the house immediate charm and a strong starting point for sensitive refurbishment. The property sits on a small urban plot with a rear garden, mature trees visible from upper floors, and easy walking access to local cafés, parks and highly regarded primary and secondary schools.
This is a renovation project with significant potential: the house requires modernisation throughout (services and insulation appear dated, and double glazing dates are unknown). Broadband speeds are slow, and the solid-brick construction likely lacks wall insulation. Council tax is noted as quite expensive — all practical costs to factor into any refurbishment budget.
Chain-free and freehold, the home suits a family or buyers seeking a long-term project in a prime, well-connected neighbourhood. Transport links (Harringay and Finsbury Park nearby) and local amenities make the location highly desirable; the property is a blank canvas for someone prepared to update heating, electrics and internal finishes to contemporary standards.
