Lightcliffe Road, Palmers Green, London, N13

Description

A rare, ready-to-go opportunity for a small developer or self-builder: a former garage plot on Lightcliffe Road, Palmers Green, with full planning permission already granted for a detached single-storey dwelling (Ref. 23/02716/FUL, 2023).

The latest architect's drawings set out a beautifully specified one-bedroom home of around 60 sq m (approx. 52 sq m internal, plus an 8sq m entrance porch), with underfloor heating, a walk-in dressing room, and a light-filled open-plan kitchen and living space. Specification is high-end throughout — engineered wood flooring, lime-wash painted walls, natural stone feature walling, and a designer bathroom suite — combined with strong sustainability credentials: a biodiversity green roof, rooflights, photovoltaic panels and an air source heat pump.

With the principle of development and detailed design already established, this is a de-risked, right-sized project: a single dwelling rather than a multi-unit scheme, ideal for a first-time developer or owner-builder wanting to project-manage their own home from a strong starting point.

The plot enjoys an excellent Palmers Green location, tucked into a settled residential pocket close to Osborne Road and New River Crescent and surrounded by established housing and gardens. Palmers Green mainline station is a few minutes' walk away, with fast Great Northern services into London King's Cross. Winchmore Hill station and Southgate underground station (Piccadilly line) are also within easy reach, alongside local bus routes.

Day-to-day amenities are close at hand too: the shops, cafés and restaurants of Palmers Green's "Triangle" and Green Lanes are a short walk away, while Broomfield Park offers green open space just around the corner.

A compact, well-documented opportunity to bring a sustainably specified new home to a well-connected, amenity-rich corner of north London.
