We don’t think you should have to compromise on space and style to save money in your new home search. North London has a wealth of affordable properties: boasting private gardens, Victorian architecture and original fireplaces, all nestled comfortably in the heart of a leafy and buzzing area. To show you just how far your pound will stretch in North London, we’ve gathered four example properties that you could expect to find for a mere £400,000.
Berriman Road, Finsbury Park- £400,000
This one bed Victorian conversion with bay windows, original cast iron fireplace and galley style kitchen hosts a rather pretty and private south west facing garden, not to mention an additional home office / nursery space depending on what life may have in store for you. We particularly like the bathroom complete with Devonstone black-and-white ceramic tiled floor and the traditional brassware that adorns the dual ended bath tub. Bliss. All this for a mere £400,000 residing a measly 0.4 miles from Finsbury Park Station.
