THE OWNERS SAY

We lived happily in this house for six years, and over the years, we have tried to create an ideal family home. The kitchen and garden are the heart of the house; light-filled and the site of many joyful gatherings.

The neighbourhood has a great combination of city, nature and community. We have loved the shops, cafés and restaurants on Green Lanes, the green spaces of Finsbury Park and Chestnuts Park, and sailing and swimming in the reservoir. Plus, easy access via tube and overground to all that London has to offer.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we endeavour to provide accurate photographs, floor plans, and descriptions, these should be intended as a guide. Total floor plan measurements are sometimes rounded for ease, and distances are approximated. Purchasers should always satisfy themselves through personal inspection.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Set on a vibrant residential road, this beautiful yet functional Victorian home has three double bedrooms, bathroom, and a separate WC downstairs. The owners have carefully remodelled the interior and exterior, with an extension and skylights that give each room purpose and luminescence.

Bifold doors lead from the kitchen – with an enlarged island just right for busy breakfast times – onto a curated garden with decking and in-built planters. The newly fitted bathroom and kitchen are neutral in tone, while each of the bedrooms makes a statement with the rich use of colour.

Hermitage Road offers something for urbanites and nature lovers alike. Finsbury Park and the Woodberry Wetlands are a short walk away, as is the delightful yet little-known New River Path which connects the two. For a city fix, Green Lanes' mix of restaurants and shops is within easy reach. Multiple tube and rail stations are within walking distance, and you can be in central London within half an hour by bicycle.

1 Woodberry Wetlands

Next to the reservoir. A haven for wildlife and people, and with a lovely cafe overlooking the ponds.

2 The Dusty Knuckle

Their second location shares more of the good stuff: a bakery/café by day and a pizza and wine spot by night. The Dusty Knuckle is a purpose-driven business that helps at-risk young people take forward steps in their lives through on-the-job training and mentorship. Insanely popular and utterly delicious, there isn't anything about his place we don't like.

3 The Salisbury

The grand establishment that is The Salisbury harks back to the days when the area was rather well-to-do. It’s both a relief and a delight that despite various refurbishments over the years, no one has gone and done anything silly like ripping out the original Victorian saloon bar and décor. A wonderful pub. And even more special when you can call it your ‘local’.

4 Yard Sale Pizza

Mouth-watering Yard Sale Pizza has made its way to Tottenham. Grab a few pizzas with friends and enjoy al fresco across the road in Downhills Park.

5 Perkyn's

Fuelling our coffee addiction since the day it opened, Perkyn's is one of the best for a coffee hit. A bottle shop, too, fridges filled with beautifully designed craft beers and wine that makes any occasion feel like a real treat.
