Recent work:
The owners restored and painted the upstairs floorboards, adding insulation underneath, replastered, repainted, and insulated party walls. They replaced two windows upstairs (now all double-glazed) and added stained glass film. They have used Atelier Ellis paint upstairs and down and added a loft ladder for ease. The kitchen has been revamped, and a dishwasher has been installed. The front door was replaced with a high-security steel 45-db soundproof door.

The garden has been completely landscaped from scratch with brick and pebble paths, planted flower borders and a 'no dig' vegetable patch. Both fences have also been replaced and upgraded.

Getting around:
Bruce Grove Overground is moments away on foot, connecting you to Seven Sisters on the Victoria line and taking you to Hackney, Bethnal Green and Liverpool Street in 30 minutes. It's like an extension of the Victorian Line with benefits. A little further but still within easy reach, Tottenham Hale provides an additional option and fast, direct links to Stansted Airport, perfect for last-minute getaways.

If you prefer two wheels, Cycle Superhighway Route 1 (CS1) runs from Seven Sisters to Central London. You'll pass Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Dalston, De Beauvoir, and Hoxton before finishing in The City near Shoreditch, Spitalfields, and the Barbican.

Onwards plans:
The current owners need to find and are actively looking.

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

The concept of a half-house is not widely known, but they are common in this corner of Tottenham. It is a clever idea. You share a front door and corridor with your neighbours (left or right), but once you enter your side, the layout resembles a traditional Victorian ‘two-up, two-down'. Each half-house has its own freehold, including the loft, so you have total autonomy.

This gorgeous example has been lovingly cared for and improved by the current owners. It has enough original detailing to give the house an authentic period vibe but with modern creature comforts like the wood burner in the living room. Outside, the garden has been utterly transformed into an urban oasis with extensive planting, a winding brick path, and a seating area at the back––perfect for a sundowner.

Sperling Road is quiet and tucked away from the hubbub of Tottenham High Road. Yet, it is still within touching distance of some of the most exciting things happening nearby, including Beavertown Brewery, Cinnamon Leaf Food Hall and Five Miles. And possibly best of all, you can fall out your door and be at the train station in under about three minutes, providing speedy, reliable transport links across London.

THE OWNERS SAY

We will miss our beautiful home so much, but we have enjoyed slowly restoring this special house into a cosy oasis.

The home is warm and inviting, with plenty of space both inside and out. We love the lush lounge on colder nights, where we have spent many nights watching TV in front of the warm and cosy log burner. In the better weather, it's a perfect place to enjoy the garden with patio doors leading out to from the dining room. The kitchen dining space is so versatile and is perfect for hosting - we regularly have 6 to 8 person dinner parties on large sleeper dining table and an annual summer party.

The garden has been our labour of love, spending many, many hours tending to it. I've used the Charles Dowding method of 'no dig' to build new beds and enrich the soil. My husband built the brick path, and our covered pergola keeps our outdoor furniture bone dry all winter. It's also a perfect space for a garden office, which you could add to give an extra room. My veg plot as the back has fed us well with tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, beans, courgettes, kale and many other wonders. The pergola is covered in jasmine, which blooms from June to August with the most beautiful scent. We have a bay tree, camellia, honeysuckle, a wild climbing rose and a beautiful apple and pear tree that both blossom in the spring and turn autumnal in the colder months. During summer, they swell with a glut of fruit (which you will need to keep your eyes on as the squirrels take their share, too!). I'll be planting purple sprouting broccoli and fennel for the new owners to enjoy next spring, and depending on the month, the wisteria may even welcome you in!

The street is really special with a lovely community feel to it. It's very quiet and safe, with amazing transport links. (central London in 20 minutes!). We have a local WhatsApp chat––there's an annual street party, and we also fundraise once a year to plant new trees (11 trees were planted last year alone!). My husband and I sponsored the tree at the top of the road and they all turn into a beautiful bloom in spring.
