The Opportunity
The true value of this home lies in what it could become. Period features have been left intact—original floors, cornice, fireplaces—meaning there's nothing to correct, only everything to gain from thoughtful renovations. And crucially, side access offers the potential for a side extension, significantly expanding the footprint of the property and future-proofing it entirely. Most properties on streets like this don't have that option. This one does.
With structural work and modernisation on the ground floor, this could be really special. It feels homely and loved, and it's now ready to be reimagined by new owners.
The Location
Wakeman Road is one of Kensal Green's charming Victorian terraced streets. Tree-lined, residential, and quietly desirable. Kensal Rise station sits just moments away, offering swift Overground connections to Clapham Junction, Stratford, and beyond. The parade of independent shops, cafes, and pubs along Chamberlayne Road provides everything you need within a five-minute walk, while Queen's Park and the green expanses of Kensal Green Cemetery are both easily accessible.
This is a neighbourhood that has quietly evolved into one of North West London's most sought-after residential pockets, and properties with this much potential don't come around often. Key landmarks include Lexi Cinema and Kensal Rise Library, opened by Mark Twain in 1900. For families, the area is within the catchment areas of The Ark Franklin Primary Academy and Princess Frederica's Primary Schools, and Queen's Park Secondary School.
