College Road, London, N21

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Winchmore Hill within easy walking distance of the train station and local shops, this two bedroom freehold apartment has a private garden, a large cellar, and comes with a share of the freehold.

Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the property occupies the ground floor of a handsome end-of-terrace Edwardian house and has sole use and ownership of the side and rear garden. The house is set comfortably back from the street behind a deep pavement and front garden.

Once inside the white walls and welcoming wood floor of the hallway exude an understated elegance which continues into the front living room where generous period proportions and features, such as the high ceiling with a central rose and cornicing, sit comfortable alongside contemporary fixtures, including bespoke plantation shutters on the wide south-facing bay window. A simple feature fireplace provides a focal point. Measuring almost 14ft by 13ft there’s plenty of space for a couple of sofas and a dining table. The separate kitchen, fitted in 2024, lies towards the rear of the apartment. This is thoughtfully laid out space has Shaker-style cabinets, integrated appliances, a metro-tiled splashback, and wood worktops. A partly glazed door conveniently opens onto the garden terrace.

The main bedroom also has garden access, via French doors that open onto the terrace. This spacious room is a tranquil retreat with two large fitted wardrobes to either side of an original cast iron fireplace. The second bedroom and bathroom, also at the quiet rear of the apartment, are accessed via the kitchen. The bedroom, which measures 9ft 4 by 5ft 11, has garden views and an engineered wood floor. The bathroom is stunning, with stone and slate clad walls, contemporary sanitaryware, and excellent natural light and ventilation. It’s fitted with a bath with a shower and glass screen, a glass bowl washbasin and pillar tap on a solid wood shelf, and a modern WC.

The property has a huge 648 square foot cellar, accessed via a stair from the hallway.

The charming split-level garden, which wraps around the side and rear of the property, has access both from the apartment and a side gate to the street. Doors from the main bedroom and kitchen open onto a raised terrace which has steps down to the mid-level which comprises a second large terrace, a built-in outdoor bar area, and gravelled borders with large wood planters – an ideal spot for outdoor furniture and entertaining. A couple of steps lead from the terrace down to a wide lawn, bench seating, planters, and a large specimen tree.

The apartment is in immaculate condition throughout, combining traditional features and proportions with contemporary fixtures, fittings, and decor to create a stylish and welcoming home. It has sole use of the rear garden and comes with a share of the freehold.
