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
Everywhere you look in this home, there is something to delight in. Given a complete upgrade by the current owners, the house has been restored and extended with meticulous attention to detail.
Everything has been carefully considered and crafted, from the parquet flooring and cast-iron fireplace to the decorative door handles and bespoke joinery. Nowhere is this more evident than in the light-filled kitchen, where the hand-built cabinetry, including the wood-slatted island, double fridge space, and pantry cupboard, make it a true one-off.
Five good-sized bedrooms provide flexible spaces for growing families, guests or home offices. Each has been exquisitely decorated. We love the sumptuous main bedroom, with its deep blue walls and panelling that feel calming, but all have something about them––there isn't a box room in sight. The big, south-facing garden feels just as it should in keeping with the house, with thoughtful seating, raised beds and even a place for bugs to make a home.
Kimberley Gardens is a wonderful spot. Minutes on foot from bustling Green Lanes, with its mix of shops, cafés and an unrivalled selection of Turkish restaurants, yet the street is quiet with little passing traffic. On your day off, spend time brunching at The Dusty Knuckle Harringay, sinking a pint at The Salisbury, and dancing the night away at Jam In The Jar. Need to blow away the cobwebs? Grab a coffee from Perkyns and fresh baklava at Yasir Halim and head to nearby Chestnut Park.
THE OWNERS SAY
Kimberley Gardens has been a brilliant house for us. We all love sitting in the sociable, sunny kitchen, especially with the doors wide open in summer. The south-facing garden, which is particularly beautiful in the spring, is so quiet despite how close we are to such a buzzy high street.
The neighbourhood is lovely, too, with a number of resident activities throughout the year, good schools, and a strong sense of community. We are also very well connected, so nothing feels far away. We can easily get to friends, work, and local facilities.

landmarks
1 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’.
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 Harringay Local Store
Easily one of the best local places to get quality, organic produce and all sorts of other delicious or practical home produce. And you get to take it home in their own tote, which reads: “Not Another Tescos.” A sentiment we can all get behind.
4 Beans & Barley
It began as a health food shop with a cafe as a sideshow, but the latter became so popular it grew and took over. Now, with an added a soft play area with kids’ toys and an expanded menu, it’s a huge hit with parents seeking solace in coffee and cake.
5 But First Coffee
This little café is a real local favourite. Its delicious pastries and award-winning Ozone coffee get almost as much love as its friendly service. But First Coffee is just around the corner from Harringay station, so you can get to know your new neighbours by making it part of your morning routine.
