Lordship Lane, Tottenham, London, N17

A characterful four-bedroom Victorian house, recently renovated to a beautiful decorative order with thoughtful design touches including an exposed brick wall, a striking new staircase and a recently installed kitchen complete with wine fridge and separate storage room.

The house is brimming with period charm, with original features such as a handsome brick façade, fireplaces, cornicing and decorative mouldings, now complemented by modern updates including double-glazed windows, bespoke wardrobes and the new staircase. Natural light pours through the south-facing rooms, enhancing the sense of space. There’s also scope to extend into the garden, subject to the usual consents, which has been accepted in the recent past.

Accommodation includes four well-proportioned double bedrooms, a family bathroom on the first floor, and a stylish loft conversion with metro-tiled en suite. From here, there are wonderful views across a Queens Jubilee protected park used for children’s sports.

The neighbourhood has a thriving café and restaurant culture. Local favourites include Alici’s, beloved for its pancakes, the Downhills Park Café, and The Hub, which runs a wide programme of health and fitness classes. Tottenham’s food and drink scene continues to grow with standouts such as Pasero, The High Cross micro-pub, The Palm, Bluecoats and Beavertown Brewery.

Excellent transport connections are all within 15 minutes, with the Piccadilly and Victoria lines and the Overground offering fast access to Liverpool Street. The CS1 cycle route also makes cycling into Central London a convenient option.

Green spaces are abundant, with Downhills Park, the River Lea, Tottenham Marshes and Walthamstow Wetlands — Europe’s largest urban nature reserve — all close at hand. Tottenham and Seven Sisters are known for their elegant period housing, excellent transport links and a strong sense of community.
