4 bedroom house for sale

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial four-bedroom late Victorian family home on one of Stoke Newington’s most sought-after residential crescents. This charming property oozes character and offers an exciting blank canvas for those looking to create their perfect London home.

The Victorians started developing the area in 1850 after the rector of St Mary’s Church granted a lease of 11 ½ acres of land to a local builder to build 21 houses close to Clissold Park. Slowly these expanded to form Clissold Crescent (originally named Park Lane) aimed at wealthy middle-class families.

Set back from the street on this desirable, leafy residential road, the property enjoys an uninterrupted elevated position with great kerb appeal, and sits conveniently close to the vibrant high street amenities of Stoke Newington’s Church Street and open green spaces of Clissold Park.

Offering almost 1,700 sq ft of internal living space, the house currently provides flexible accommodation with potential to reconfigure into a statement family residence or retain the separate self-contained apartments (subject to planning) within the freehold building or separating the leases and disposing individually.

The ground floor welcomes you with bright, light-filled hallway with stairs to the floor above and a cellar below. The reception (4th bedroom) is to the right and leads through to the separate dining room with galley kitchen directly off of it and leading seamlessly out into a south-facing private rear garden. There is potential under permitted development to extend the rear of the property creating a large open-plan kitchen diner further extending the floor area by another 200-300 square feet subject to planning permission.

The first floor provides a well-balanced layout centred around a generous principal bedroom measuring approximately 17’9” x 15’8”, with a bay window that enhances natural light and sense of scale. A well-proportioned kitchen sits to the rear, offering ample workspace and storage, while a contemporary shower room is positioned conveniently off the landing. The arrangement works well for flexible living, whether as a private suite, guest accommodation or an additional reception level.

The second floor comprises two further double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious room of around 17’10” x 12’5”, complemented by a third bedroom ideal as a child’s room, study or dressing room. A separate kitchen and additional shower room serve this level, creating excellent versatility for multi-generational living, rental potential or independent accommodation, all thoughtfully arranged off a central staircase landing.

With full renovation required, this home presents a rare chance to tailor the layout, design and finishes to your own exacting standards. Sold with vacant possession and with no onward chain, this is a superb opportunity for both owner-occupiers and investors to acquire a substantial property with minimal hassle.

Perfectly positioned for transport and lifestyle, local stations including Canonbury, Drayton Park and Arsenal Underground are all within walking distance, while excellent schools, cafés, shops and park are just moments away.
