Burford Gardens, Palmers Green, N13

IN BRIEF

Occupying a prime location in the desirable Lakes Estate, this four bedroom terraced house is just moments from the shops and station in the centre of Palmers Green. In immaculate condition and with a fabulous garden, this is a very special house.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The lovely house epitomises the very best of the old and the new, with elegant period proportions, great character, and stylish décor. Large windows and high ceilings give it an airy ambience, whilst a combination of original features such as fireplaces, picture rails, wood floors and panelled doors, with contemporary fixtures and fittings and modern décor create a coherent and welcoming feel.

The front garden has a picture-perfect sage green wooden picket fence, a high hedge that provides privacy, and a sheltered front door with original leaded lights. This opens into a fabulous hallway with vintage encaustic tiles and a school-style radiator that sets the tone for what is to follow.

The property has a traditional layout on the ground and first floors, and a loft extension that provides a fourth bedroom and an additional bathroom.

The front reception room is spacious and serene, with a traditional bay window, picture rails, ornate ceiling details and cornicing, and an original cast-iron fireplace. This elegant room has great natural light and has plenty of space for two sofas. The rear reception room is similarly stylish, with period features including a fireplace, a large bespoke built-in cupboard, and half-glazed double doors that open into the garden.

The almost 22ft-long kitchen is fitted galley-style, with two walls of Shaker-style cabinets that house freestanding appliances, a small metro-tiled splashback, a wood worktop. Beyond the cabinets there is ample space for a dining table in the mainly glazed rear section (an addition completed approx. 15 years ago) that has great garden views and a door to the paved terrace.

The first floor has two large double bedrooms and a single. Both doubles have large windows, original fireplaces, and bespoke alcove cupboards. The single bedroom has a charming triangular bay window and would make an ideal child’s room or workspace. The family bathroom on this floor is generously sized and easily accommodates a large bath and a shower cubicle as well as a modern washbasin and WC. It’s fully tiled and has a large window (with garden views)

The loft was converted about 20 years ago to provide a large fourth double bedroom and a fully tiled shower room. The bedroom design and decor is simple and timeless, with ample built-in eaves storage. Both rooms have great natural light from large windows that overlook the rear garden.

The over 90 ft east-facing garden is extensive and features a paved terrace that’s ideal for relaxing and entertaining and a long lawn flanked by beds with thoughtfully layered mature planting. A central paved path leads to a lovely summer house (which has its own terrace) and a rear gate that provides pedestrian rear access.
