Homes in Crouch End
Crouch End and Hornsey are mostly late Victorian and Edwardian houses, from large semis to tall terraces. Many have been converted into flats, and others extended into the loft or basement. The Harringay Ladder, a grid of parallel streets off Green Lanes, has tightly packed Victorian terraces.
The area sits on London Clay with hilly streets, and mature trees are common. Parts of Crouch End and Stroud Green are in conservation areas, controlling replacement windows and front garden changes. Prices are high, reflecting the area's popularity with families. Large Victorian houses often have extensive basements or cellars, and buyers should check that any basement conversions were properly approved and waterproofed.
Areas we cover include Crouch End, Hornsey, Stroud Green, Harringay Ladder.
