Found on a quiet street, a stone's throw from Downhill's Park, this classic three bedroom house is located within a coveted corner of N17. Set out over two floors but with the potential to extend into the loft, the home provides space and scope for a couple or young family to put down roots long-term.

POINTS TO CONSIDER

The EPC gives a current Energy Efficiency Rating: D & Environmental Impact Rating: D

Part of the borough of Haringey, the house falls into Council Tax Band C (£1,400.72 for 2018/2019).

The current owners have done a lot of general updating since they bought the house. Cosmetic stuff, such as repainting throughout with Farrow & Ball colours, to some more significant upgrades like the refurbishing all of the sash windows and upgrading the bathroom with new fittings and turquoise metro tiles from Fired Earth.

If you’re a cyclist, the Cycle Superhighway (CS1) begins at Seven Sisters and ends at Liverpool Street providing a faster and safer, direct route into central London.

THE OWNERS SAY

We loved living in this house. It's such an easy, comfortable and relaxing house to live in. Cosy in the winter; light and cool in the summer.

A couple of things we really love are the French doors in the kitchen which open directly onto south-facing decked garden, which is fenced on all sides, providing additional space that we use all year round. There’s also a hidden paddling pool built into the deck which can be used as a sandpit.

We'll miss living in this lovely house, but our new life is starting in Bristol now, so hope to pass onto another family who will love it as much as we did!

BRICKWORKS SAYS

The exterior, with its weathered red-brick and petrol blue woodwork, means it's a handsome house from the street. That positive first-impression continues inside, where the large double reception room and soft tones instantly create a calming atmosphere. Added to that, the back garden faces south, so light streams in from the rear of the house, bathing it in warm sunshine all day long.

The three bedrooms upstairs are all a decent size, particularly the main bedroom at the front, which is wide and welcoming and clearly the master. The pretty, original fireplace gives a pleasing focal point to the room and the two double-glazed sash windows draw in plenty of natural light.

A final but important mention for the back garden which is a bonafide sun trap. Fully decked with hardwood, so ultra low-maintenance, but with some mature planting that softens the whole the scene. Some clever soul has also added a small, hidden splash pool under the deck, which is a genius idea – brilliant for little ones.

1 Ten to One

We jumped for joy when this cocktail bar and restaurant opened in an ex-betting shop. A Whiskey Sour in hand while watching live music and feasting on Nashville chicken wings has become a Friday tradition for many. And why not?

2 The Palm

This is everything a local pub should be: craft beers/ales on tap, delicious food and bar snacks, and–to top it off–a brilliant team that runs it. Whenever we just “pop” in, we can’t help but stay for hours. Plus, we can assure you their Sunday Roast is pretty much perfect.

3 First Reform Pilates

This Pilates Reformer studio in Tottenham is open to everyone and is led by some of London's top instructors. It's a welcome addition to the area.

4 Downhills Park

This wonderful Victorian Park has a playgroup, playground, tennis courts, community cafe, and a charming lavender and rose garden, making it a place for all seasons.

5 Luna D’Amore

Say hello to your new local, and very tasty, woodfired pizza takeaway. This lot aren’t afraid to break the boundaries of pizza-making with regularly changing specials, but purists will be satisfied with the freshness and delicious dough.
