Melbourne Avenue, London

This handsome five bedroom mid terrace property has been extended to the rear and into the loft to provide almost 2,000 square feet of living space. It has a charming garden studio and a lovely low-maintenance landscaped garden and is located on the borders of the popular Bowes Park area which is within easy walking distance of a section of shops, schools and stations.

This substantial property offers plenty of space for modern lifestyles. It’s light and airy with generous period proportions and large windows, and it has a great mix of original features and contemporary fixtures and fittings. There are three large living spaces and a WC on the ground floor, three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, and a further two bedrooms and second bathroom on the top floor.

The traditional front room is a tranquil retreat. Flooded with light from a large south-facing bay window, and measuring a spacious 16’1” by 12’6”, there’s plenty of room for three sofas. Beyond this is a dining room with glazed double doors to a large, well-equipped kitchen. This has extensive fitted cabinets, lots of worktop space, and views of the garden through a wall of windows and a glazed door that opens onto the terrace.

The neutral décor and the warm tones of wood floors throughout the ground floor give the property a welcoming and comfortable ambience.

The carpeted first floor has two double bedrooms and a single, with the spacious main bedroom at the front of the house which leads out to a balcony. Next to this is the bathroom which has a shower, washbasin and WC, and a window for light and ventilation. The top floor is home to a stunning double bedroom that’s built into the eaves and a fifth bedroom with a Juliet balcony. Both have rooftop views. There’s also a large shower room.

Outside, the garden is an absolute delight. Landscaped with areas of gravel and with a full width studio at the end, the whole outdoor space has a wonderful sense of privacy and the feel of an outdoor room. The garden studio’s covered porch and a huge giant fan palm give it a distinctly faraway and relaxing ambience.
