For Sale
FRANCIS TERRACE, London, N19
Derelict freehold Georgian townhouse with planning permission to extend & reconfigure.
ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT
A once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire this beautiful townhouse in Tufnell Park. Derelict for nearly 30 years, this property has huge potential to create a fantastic family home spread over 5 storeys with a large south facing rear garden. Situated in a beautiful little North London cul-de-sac, it is number 1 on the street, at the end of the terrace and the property benefits from its own side access to the rear. Plans have been approved to extend and restore this house into a huge 2700 sqft, 5 bedroom family home, with double reception room and open-plan kitchen/diner with direct access to the garden at the rear.
Francis Terrace is a quiet residential no-through road consisting of 16 Georgian townhouses just off Junction Road and within a short walk of both Archway and Tuffnell Park underground stations. The popular Dartmouth Park is around a 5 minute walk away offering panoramic views of the London skyline.
There is an excellent selection of outstanding primary and secondary schools in the area as well as a wide variety of local independent retailers including shops, cafes and restaurants and High Street retailers nearby.
The house, which has been vacant for some time is now in a dilapidated state and requires extensive internal and external repairs to make it habitable once more but, offers an incoming buyer a blank canvas to create the home of their dreams.
