Carpenter Gardens, London, N21

Sitting on an unusually wide corner plot this 4 bedroom house in Winchmore Hill has a south-facing garden, an integral garage and off-street parking for 2 cars. Located next to a small green, it’s conveniently close to shops, good schools, and the station.

This family home has a generous 1,753 sq ft of living space inside including a ground floor rear extension and an integral garage, and lots of outdoor space including a block-paved front garden, gated side alley, and south-facing rear garden.

In addition to the single storey rear extension which is home to a large dining room adjacent to the kitchen, the ground floor comprises a front living room, a WC, and an integral garage. The 15’10” by 11’7” living room has a welcoming ambience, featuring a stunning cast-iron fireplace with an ornate tiled surround and an engineered wood floor.

The kitchen and dining room, conveniently connected by a wide opening with bifold doors, provide a huge space that’s ideal for family life and entertaining. The kitchen is well-equipped with fitted wall and floor units with integrated and freestanding appliances, and plenty of worktop space including a breakfast bar. The dining room has ample space for a large dining table and is flooded with natural light thanks to full height glazed sliding doors flanked by two wide windows and two skylights. The sliding doors open directly onto a paved garden terrace.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a family bathroom, a small shower room, and a separate WC. The main bedroom is a delightful room with two windows, extensive fitted wardrobes, and a beige carpet. The second and third double bedrooms have engineered wood flooring and plenty of space for double beds, wardrobes, and desk, whilst the fourth bedroom is single and would make an ideal room for a child or guest or use as a workspace.

The family bathroom, directly next to the WC, has a fitted bath with a mixer shower and a freestanding washbasin and bidet. The bathroom and WC both have obscured glass windows that provide good natural light and ventilation. The small shower room is accessed directly from the hallway.

The property is ideally orientated with a south-facing rear garden that also has an open westerly aspect. This features a large, paved terrace adjacent to the house and a lawn bordered by smart fencing and a deep flowerbed. A gated alley running along the side of the house provides direct access from the front garden which has a block-paved drive with space to park two cars.

There is potential to extend the living space by converting the loft space and the internal garage which has a garden-facing window and door in addition to the up and over door at the front.
