5 bed terraced house for sale

Hornsey Lane, London N6

A Grade II listed four storey period house dating back to the mid 17th century.

Description
The last-remaining house of an 18th-century row of six, with a panoramic view of London and a Grade-ii listing, this property stands out from its neighbours and has numerous unique internal features, as well as a large (118.11 ft) and well cared-for walled garden dominated by a magnificent magnolia tree, which produces stunning spring blossoms, and is adorned with the delightful fragrance of wisteria that climbs the wall. The house itself boasts a total of more than 3,000 square feet of space.

The lower ground floor features a carpentry workshop that offers significant potential. With the appropriate planning permission, this workspace can be converted into an independent flat or living area, complete with its own entrance that leads directly to the street.

Location
Perched on a steep ridge overlooking London, from which it was separated by open country until the late 19th century, Highgate is one of the capital’s most coveted and distinctive residential areas. It is well-served by underground and bus services, rich in cultural history and institutions and close to abundant areas of green space.

Less than half a mile from the centre of Highgate, known as the “Village”, with its Georgian architecture and historic pubs, the property is within a few minutes’ walk of Waterlow Park, one of London’s finest open spaces, and the adjacent Highgate cemetery, famous for its roll-call of distinguished figures, including Karl Marx, buried there. It is also convenient for the shopping and transport hub of Archway (0.5 miles), two well-regarded independent schools (Highgate and Channing) and two remarkable cultural and educational centres (the Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution and Lauderdale House). A little further field are Kenwood House, Hampstead Heath and Alexandra Palace -- the entertainment centre affectionately nicknamed “Ally Pally”.

Highgate tube station is 0.8m and there are six bus routes that are less than 0.1 mile away. Other attractions such as the lovely Waterlow Park is at the end of the street on Highgate Hill (0.2m), and Highgate Woods which is located next to the Tube station.
