THE OWNERS SAY

Kirkstall Avenue is a quiet street tucked away in what we think is the perfect corner of Tottenham. You’ll quickly become a regular at The Palm, Perkyn’s and Yard Sale Pizza, as well as leafy Downhills Park.

We love the flexibility of this home. The garden office is a quiet work-from-home space, while the kitchen & dining rooms have hosted many a raucous dinner party. The loft bedroom provides a private, hotel-like space for visiting friends and family, and the giant bath and gym have served as a perfect refuge for us when we’ve needed some R&R. We’ll dearly miss the community of Dorset Hall Parkside nursery and the outstanding schools nearby, and most of all our lovely neighbours, many of whom have become great friends.

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 SAY

Set over three floors, including a glorious, contemporary loft extension, this five-bedroom home keeps on giving. Thanks to thoughtful aesthetic choices, the house has an unmistakable personality, characterised by natural materials and sublime colour. The grain of the kitchen units against the cork floor adds visual texture, and the earthiness of the terracotta garden studio is echoed in the extension, tying it together beautifully.

The owners have implemented some clever ideas, like the panelling that doubles as hooks and the kitchen window seat that takes full advantage of the space. But for us, it’s the unexpected bonuses that thrill––the freestanding bath within the bedroom, the original stove tucked into a fireplace, and the inviting window seat on the top floor. The perfect spot to stop and take a moment.

Kirkstall Avenue sits in a coveted corner of Tottenham, combining a close-knit community, a range of worldwide cuisine at your fingertips, and a creative, friendly crowd. The house is just around the corner (literally) from Downhills Park, so you don’t have to go far for your fix of open spaces. If you want to switch it up, you’re also not short of craft beer or coffee shop options. Fancy something stronger? Grab a quick cocktail at Ten to One, or head to our local favourite, The Palm, for a weekend Roast.

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 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.

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.
