Guide Price - £725,000 - £750,000

IN BRIEF

If you’re looking for a three bedroom house in a prime Winchmore Hill location that combines character with cutting edge design and décor, this could be the place for you. Tucked away in the middle of a small terrace just off The Green, the smart traditional façade belies the thoroughly modern home within.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Almost 1,000 square feet of living space has been completely renovated to create a modern interior with an easy ambiance. Considered décor brings a calm coherence to the space, and there’s great flow throughout the house.

On the ground floor the cosy front room leads seamlessly to the large open plan living space at the rear of the property (providing a kitchen/diner and second living room) and out to the lovely landscaped garden. The rear extension has stunning architectural windows that both maximise the light and space, and frame the garden view. Fully glazed doors open onto the paved garden terrace creating a continuous indoor/outdoor space that’s perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Low-maintenance artificial turf, smart wood fencing, and a raised bed subtly soften the space. There’s also a utility room/WC on this floor, conveniently located in the central hallway.

The first floor is home to the main bedroom and a fabulous bathroom. The bedroom has a wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes and a wide west-facing window, whilst the bathroom is a serene space with a modern freestanding tub, a wet room style shower, a contemporary wall hung washbasin console, and a WC. There’s lots of light and ventilation thanks to an obscured glass window, and large format light grey tiles add a hint of understated luxury. The second and third double bedrooms on the second floor are built into the eaves and both have dormer windows. The second bedroom has bespoke fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, and the third bedroom has a view over the rear garden.

The property has been finished to a very high standard, and the décor combines a mainly white backdrop with neutrals and touches of colour to add interest. The fixtures and fittings are carefully chosen, from the two-tone cabinets, metro tiles, and mixed metals in the kitchen, to the understated elegance of the front living room and upper floors.
