BRICKWORKS SAYS
Tender loving care and meticulous attention to detail have revived this Victorian house for modern times. The current owner has gone to great lengths to do justice to the bones of the building, blending old with new with wonderful results. Take the kitchen—a tasteful nod to Americana, with checkerboard marble flooring and custom-made banquette seating. Everything has been done with panache.
The same consideration is evident throughout the house. Bespoke joinery, including reinstating the sliding doors between the living and dining rooms and renovating the coving and skirting boards, gives the home a high-end finish and brings aesthetic cohesion. Comfort has been considered, too, with underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom that'll keep toes toasty. But it's the unexpected touches, like the green, Zellige tiling that wraps around the back of the house, that elevate this home and make it special.
If you're looking for a close-knit community, green spaces, and an on-the-up neighbourhood, look no further than Winchelsea Road. Tottenham continues to be a popular destination, with community pubs like The Palm keeping locals content, Moko bar providing sounds and flavours that celebrate Africa, and coffee shop With Milk providing a caffeine fix. And when you want open spaces, Downhills Park and Lordship Rec are on your doorstep.
THE OWNERS SAY
I have had a magical time at number 29, refurbishing and styling it was a labour of love, and I'm so proud of the results.
It's a beautiful building, and the light does something truly gorgeous throughout. South Tottenham is a really wonderful neighbourhood, I will sorely miss all the new friends I've made locally. Almost as much as I will miss sitting and writing in my kitchen nook.

1 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.
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 Tottenham Green Leisure Centre
Having recently had a massive refurbishment, the facilities are now excellent. These include three pools, a gym, sauna and an ever popular soft play area. There is also a cafe where parents can rest up and watch the kids let off steam.
4 The High Cross
All quaint and Tudor-y, this micropub is actually situated in what used to be a 1920s public toilet. (They don’t make ’em like they used to…) Renowned for its surprisingly large selection of beer and an absolutely delicious Sunday Roast, this eccentric wee gem could be your new local.
5 The Beehive
Inside, this “community pub” has all the usual diversions—pool table, board games, darts. But the huge covered beer garden is the real draw. Open all year round, it’s as buzzy as the pub’s name implies.
