Ossian Road, London, N4

Extending to almost 2,500 sq ft across four floors, this substantial four bedroom, three bathroom Victorian family home has been comprehensively renovated, combining generous period proportions with a confident and considered contemporary finish.

The house has undergone an extensive programme of works, including completely renewed electrics and plumbing, new timber sash windows, a repointed exterior façade and a new front door. Internally, engineered wood flooring, carefully selected stone finishes and underfloor heating combine to create a home that feels both refined and exceptionally comfortable.

The raised ground floor retains the more traditional proportions of the original house. To the front is an impressive bay fronted reception room, extending to approximately 16 ft, while an adjoining sitting room creates a second, more informal living space. High ceilings and newly installed timber sash windows bring excellent natural light into both rooms, while engineered wood flooring runs throughout. A separate room to the rear is currently arranged as a study but works equally well as the fourth bedroom, providing valuable flexibility for home working or guests.

The lower ground floor forms the principal entertaining level and has been completely reconsidered around everyday family life. To the rear is an exceptional kitchen and dining room extending to over 25 ft, with two substantial rooflights drawing natural light deep into the space. The bespoke kitchen is arranged around a large central island, with porcelain worktops, integrated Smeg appliances and carefully selected finishes creating a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

Full width Cortizo sliding doors connect the kitchen and dining room directly with the landscaped rear garden, creating a strong relationship between inside and out. Underfloor heating extends throughout both the lower and raised ground floors, while a separate utility room and additional WC complete this part of the house.

At the front of the lower ground floor is a substantial media room, measuring almost 20 ft in length. The room has been prepared for the installation of a dedicated cinema system, allowing the next owner to select equipment to their own specification, while its generous proportions mean it could equally function as an additional reception or family room.

The first floor provides two particularly well proportioned double bedrooms. The larger occupies the front of the house and extends to almost 17 ft, while the second is positioned quietly to the rear. They are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, where Lusso Stone finishes and Mandarin Stone tiling have been carefully selected, complemented by electric underfloor heating.

The upper floor provides another substantial bedroom, extending to over 16 ft and making excellent use of the roof space. Rooflights bring natural light from above, while useful eaves storage runs alongside the room. A separate shower room completes the floor.

Throughout the house, the quality and extent of the refurbishment is evident, with new timber sash windows, completely renewed plumbing and electrics, underfloor heating across the lower and raised ground floors and electric underfloor heating within the bathrooms.

Outside, the traditional bay fronted façade has been carefully refreshed and repointed, retaining the architectural character of the original house. A front garden extending approximately 16 ft creates a welcome sense of separation from the street.

To the rear, the landscaped garden extends approximately 22 ft and is accessed directly from the kitchen and dining room. The full width Cortizo glazing allows the garden to become a natural continuation of the entertaining space during the warmer months.
