THE OWNERS

We bought this house after it had been a rental for around 25 years. It was a beautiful diamond that needed a real polish.

Over the course of 15 years, we poured our heart and soul into making it shine and become a lovely family home, ensuring we retained all the original features and character along the way. Now, we are at a stage in our lives where it's time to pass on the house to a new owner to enjoy.

POINTS TO CONSIDER

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC):
Current Energy Rating D. Potential Energy Rating B.

Council Tax:
The property falls into Band D (£2,388 in 2023/24) in the borough of Haringey.

Utilities:
The monthly costs are approximately £50 for electricity, £75 for gas, and £32 for water. These figures naturally change seasonally during the year.

Recent work:
The current owners have carried out a complete refurbishment, including a new kitchen, bathroom, and downstairs toilet. They have also restored the windows, floors, and original features and landscaped the garden.

Getting around:
Wood Green, a ten-minute walk away, will serve your transport needs as it whisks you into central London on the Picadilly line. But you can also set your sights on further flung destinations with Alexandra Palace Station (National Rail) down the road. Alternatively, the 243 bus runs from the end of the street to Bruce Grove, which is a good way to go east on the Overground. And when you are heading further afield, a short taxi ride gets you to Tottenham Hale, where you can pick up the Stanstead Express.

Schools:
Noel Park Primary is well-loved and around the corner.

Onward plans:
The house is being sold chain-free.

Anything else:
Noel Park is a real hidden gem with diverse architecture on show, all in the Arts & Crafts style. The streets are named after prominent figures at the time the houses were built; Gladstone Avenue, for example, is named after Britain's longest-serving Prime Minister. The street is uncharacteristically wide for a London residential street, and this was to allow horses and carts to turn around easily.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

A devotion to reviving this three-bedroom home in the conservation area of Noel Park has created a classic and versatile home. The current owners have restored the whole house, from the array of beautiful fireplaces to sourcing the perfect doors and handles. No stone has been left unturned. Even the more contemporary additions, like the gorgeous green kitchen, fit seamlessly into the considered aesthetic.

We admire the deft touch. Depending on your perspective, the rooms are either perfectly calming as they are or ready for layering on your own look, but either way, they are undeniably chic. The bedrooms feel fresh, and the wood burner in the living room means you can turn up the cosy dial when needed. Similarly, the garden outside, with its budding grapevines and decked area for open-air dining, is to be relished, and yet there's scope to make your botanic mark should you wish to.

Gladstone Avenue is a great spot for anyone looking for a peaceful community within strolling distance of a neighbourhood on the up. Wood Green is enjoying an influx of coffee shops and tasty new venues that sit comfortably alongside old favourites. And with Lordship Rec, Downhills Park, and Alexandra Palace within walking distance, there are options to get your fresh air fix and wide open spaces.
