Muswell Hill deservedly has a reputation of being a rather lovely place to live. With a variety of restaurants on your doorstep, green spaces aplenty, many interesting shops and, of course, the iconic Alexandra Palace in your neighbourhood, it’s easy to see why. And when it comes to loft conversions, Muswell Hill residents know that they can rely on them to create the perfect home in this exciting area.
Why is Muswell Hill so popular?
Muswell Hill has been a popular place to live for a while, and with good reason. There are plenty of eating and drinking establishments and leisure facilities, which include specialist cinemas. There are also lovely independent bookshops, antique shops and a farmers’ market, so plenty for shoppers to enjoy. And let’s not forget the green spaces nearby, in the form of Highgate Wood, Queen’s Wood, Coldfall Wood and Alexandra Park, home to the beautiful Alexandra Palace.
Muswell Hill and the areas within the N10 postcode region are well connected, too. Although Muswell Hill doesn’t have a tube station of its own, there are several within walking distance, or a short bus ride away, meaning that the Northern and Piccadilly Lines are on the doorstep. There are also Overground train services from Alexandra Palace and Hornsey, taking you to Moorgate and the City of London within 20 minutes.
These factors combine to make Muswell Hill perfect for both families and professionals, and those who like the buzzy atmosphere the area provides, all within a stone’s throw of central London.
But what should you do if you find your dream home in Muswell Hill, but you know that it’s too small for your needs? Or if it’s your dream home now, but you want the potential for a bit more room in the future, as your family grows or your needs change?
With average house prices around the £730,000 mark, many homes which would be ideal for the family or professional lifestyle are at the upper end of the price range. If this is the case for you, you could consider a loft conversion. Muswell Hill property owners are already embracing how a loft room can help them achieve the perfect home.
How to create the perfect family home in Muswell Hill with a loft conversion
If you’re moving to Muswell Hill for the excellent schools in the area, which include several private schools, you’ll no doubt be looking for the perfect family home. But if your ideal family home is out of your budget, then you’ll need to think smaller and consider how your home can grow to meet your needs. For many families in Muswell Hill, an attic room is the way forward.
With a loft conversion, no outdoor space is sacrificed. You won’t lose your garden like you can with an extension, but you will gain some valuable additional space. This can then be used as children’s bedrooms, perhaps with a shared Jack and Jill bathroom in between, or a master suite on the top floor, giving the kids their own space on the floor below.
Don’t forget that an extra bathroom is highly sought after by families as children grow, so if you can add an ensuite or an additional bathroom within your roof space, do so. You’ll not only enhance family life, but you could also add value to your home.
How to use your roof space to create the perfect professional home in Muswell Hill
Of course, if you’re looking to create a professional home, you may not need additional bedrooms, but you could benefit from a home office or workspace. If you’ve been working from home a lot more recently, then a dedicated home study is an excellent way of increasing productivity and improving work-life balance. Just shut the door at the end of the day and leave work behind.
If you own your own business or work for yourself, you may need a slightly bigger office space or perhaps a workshop or craft space. A loft room could be perfect for this, as you can turn the entire area over to a dedicated working space, allowing you to combine both the social and leisure aspects of living in Muswell Hill with a productive work life.
