BRICKWORKS SAYS

Sat on a quiet, one-way street, this apartment’s pleasing proportions have been sensitivity enhanced with earthy hues and whitewashed floorboards. At the front, the reception room instantly calms with soft ochre-coloured walls and an inviting bay window overlooking a sheltered front garden, while a picture rail and ceiling rose point to the building’s late-Victorian origins.

The rest of the property is a harmonious extension of this aesthetic with pleasingly muted tones. The layout is convivial yet practical, with a bright, functional kitchen and two large bedrooms that feel connected to the outside greenery. The garden itself benefits from mature planting and has been arranged to incorporate flower beds and a spot for outdoor entertaining.

Philip Lane is at the end of the street, and beyond that, West Green Road and Tottenham High Road, each with a growing number of independent shops, pubs, and restaurants. A 10-minute walk in the other direction, and you soon come across Downhills Park and Lordship Rec. These green spaces serve as a popular location for dog walkers, runners, and families alike, with two great cafes, a playground, and a paddling pool. For transport, you are covered too, with Seven Sisters station within easy reach on foot.

THE OWNER SAYS

We have always loved the layout and location of the flat; the local parks and public transport are very good.

1 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.

2 Luna D’Amore

Say hello to your new local, and very tasty, woodfired pizza takeaway. This lot aren’t afraid to break the boundaries of pizza-making with regularly changing specials, but purists will be satisfied with the freshness and delicious dough.

3 Sushi Heads

This Japanese shop and takeaway counter is a hidden gem. Tucked along Phillip Lane, just down from Downhills Park, the friendly team serves excellent sushi and hot dishes. Top-notch and alwasy great value.

4 With Milk

Run by two sisters, this sweet independent coffee shop & deli on nearby Philip Lane packs a punch serving amazing coffee roasted by Perky Blenders in local Leytonstone. With a changing menu of sandwiches, sweet treats and blooming excellent croissants that always hit the spot, the ladies also offer gluten-free options, a range of halal meats and wonderful cheeses.

5 Lordship Recreation Ground

'The Rec' is a generous green space with a paddling pool, playground, a BMX track and little woods for all kinds of muddy adventures and make-believe.
