Highfield Road, London, N21

This attractive and stylish two bedroom terraced cottage with a long garden and garden studio is close to a wide range of local amenities including shops, schools, and Winchmore Hill train station.

Set back behind a picket fence, this appealing cottage is welcoming and well-kept, with a smart front garden and paved path that leads to the front porch. This opens into a light and airy approximately 45ft long open plan living space which comprises a front lounge, a central dining area, and a kitchen at the rear of the property.

The whole space is flooded with natural light from windows at the front and rear. The front window has plantation shutters for privacy. A lovely stripped wood floor and school style radiators add character to the lounge and dining areas, as do the painted brick fireplace and stylish wallpapered alcoves

The galley kitchen, up one step and through an arched opening, has a lovely herringbone parquet engineered wood floor. Matt white wall and floor units with fitted and freestanding appliances line the walls, providing ample storage and worktop space and a wide window above the sink and an opening to a small rear lobby provide great natural light. A cupboard in the lobby houses the washing machine and there are doors to the bathroom and back garden.

The bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a shower bath with a glass screen and a washbasin/WC console. A high-level obscured glass window provides good natural light and ventilation.

There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, one of which is currently used as a dressing room. Both have a serene feel, with subtle taupe colour scheme, carpets and smart, modern fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom has bespoke plantation shutters and an attractive painted brick wall.

To the rear of the property, the garden and garden studio add a lot of extra indoor and outdoor space. The c.70 ft garden has a leafy backdrop thanks to neighbouring nature trees. Designed for relaxation and entertainment, it has three well-defined sections: a paved terrace adjacent to the rear of the house, a long central lawn, and a terrace with a raised deck and studio at the end. The 183 sq ft studio has electricity and is suited to a variety of uses, including as a workspace.
