BRICKWORKS SAYS

This gorgeous home is a testament to the principles of less is more. The owners have created a serene and stylish home where every room has been updated with skill and care, including architectural elements like the original wooden sash windows.

The living room at the front of the flat is spacious and light, with stripped wooden floorboards and whitewashed walls. The cast-iron fireplace, installed by the current owners, is a focal point that nods to the heritage of the building. It's simple yet beautiful.

The rest of the flat is just as purposeful. The kitchen and bathroom continue the pared-back aesthetic and have been carefully considered with day-to-day living in mind. We love the detailing, too. Note the subtle shift of tile sizes in the bathroom, which is unexpected and ever-so-pleasing. This mindful approach creates a sense of calm in the two comfortable bedrooms.

A magnet for creatives and families, South Tottenham is starting to get the recognition it deserves. If you judge a neighbourhood on the quality of its craft beer, global flavours and pop-ups, then you're looking at a serious contender. A melting pot of cultures and cuisines, with enough after-hours spots, green spaces and river walks to keep you entertained day and night.

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.

THE OWNERS SAY

We've loved living in Tottenham and especially Keston Road, which is a quiet, no-throughway street. New places are opening all the time, from bars and restaurants to Yoga and Pilates. Plus, there is a packed calendar of local events and a wonderful sense of community—we won't be moving far!

We've felt very lucky to have so much green space right on our doorstep. Most weekends, we'll find ourselves walking off pastries around the parks and bumping into friends. We love the local pub, 'The Palm,' for a quick pint or a lazy Sunday lunch. And you don't have to go far for one of the best Turkish feasts in London along Green Lanes.

We've spent time and care renovating the flat over the years. We've tried to think of every detail, maximising the use of the space so it is ready for someone new to move in and relax from day one. We'll miss the big sash windows, which get lots of light all year round, and the airy living room with its high ceilings, but now is the time for someone new to put their stamp on it.
