This substantial Victorian semi-detached home offers over 2,500 sq ft of adaptable family space in Friern Barnet. High ceilings, bay windows and original mouldings give immediate period character, while large reception rooms and a generous rear garden suit everyday family life and outdoor entertaining.
The property is well placed for families, within walking distance of strong primary and secondary schools and close to New Southgate and Arnos Grove stations for good transport links. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working from home and connectivity needs.
There is clear scope to extend to the rear (subject to planning permission) and to reconfigure internal space for more contemporary living. Practical matters to note: the house has just two bathrooms for five bedrooms, the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the double glazing install date is unknown — further thermal improvements may be needed.
Freehold tenure and a decent plot add long-term appeal, but buyers should budget for updating, insulation work, and the relatively high council tax. For families seeking a large period home with extension potential in a well-connected North London neighbourhood, this property offers strong bones and excellent scope to create a bespoke family residence.
