5 bed detached house for sale

Powys Lane, London N14

Occupying a prominent, park-facing position on Powys Lane, this grand double-fronted detached residence offers over 3,600 sq. Ft. Of versatile space, ideal for large families or those seeking future development potential. Rich in character and history, the property has been in the same family since 1967 and has undergone three major extensions over the decades. The ground floor features three generous reception rooms, including a formal front lounge with newly installed double glazing, a 32ft through reception/dining room, and a handcrafted French oak period kitchen fitted with Gaggenau and Miele appliances. A section of the kitchen and adjoining dining area showcases the work of a French decorative artist, who employed rag rolling techniques to add unique texture and charm. The layout also includes two utility areas, a ground floor WC, and access to an integrated garage.The first-floor hosts four generous double bedrooms, including an elegant master suite with a dressing room and bay window overlooking Broomfield Park, and three en suite bathrooms, alongside a family bathroom and excellent storage. The top floor is a rare full-height loft extension (now virtually unachievable under current planning policy), offering two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom. There is further potential to reconfigure the loft to create two generously sized rooms by modifying the central structure, presenting a compelling opportunity for families looking to future-proof. The rear garden features a characterful Victorian brick-built outbuilding currently used as an office/studio, a dedicated barbecue area, and ample lawn for entertaining. 30% of the windows, including the front lounge and 2 bedrooms upstairs benefit from recently installed double glazing (2022), blending comfort with retained period character.
Set behind a spacious carriage driveway, this home offers excellent kerb appeal, off-street parking, and sits moments from the cafés, shops and transport links of both Palmers Green and Arnos Grove (Piccadilly Line). This is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home with deep local roots, exceptional potential, and uninterrupted park views in one of N14’s most desirable addresses.
