IN BRIEF
This delightful double-fronted three bedroom Devonshire Longhouse house with stylish décor and a sunny south-facing garden occupies prime location in a tree-lined street between Winchmore Hill and Palmers Green within easy walking distance of stations, shops, and green spaces.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Double-fronted and with a lovely south-facing garden, this 1930s terraced house has lots of charm and character. The attractive white exterior and steep gabled roof give it a Arts & Craft feel which continues into the interior where there are original panelled doors, a range of distinctive windows, and other unique period features. With 1,202 square feet of space set over two floors and a wide c.40ft frontage the house has a great sense of lateral space, and with windows on three sides it has plentiful natural light.

The front door opens into a wide hallway with fresh and simple décor that sets the tone for the rest of the house. White walls complement the stripped pine floor and panelled doors that continue throughout the ground floor, a tall window provides good natural light, and there’s a neat built-in understairs cupboard. There are three large living spaces – a kitchen diner, and two living rooms.

The kitchen diner lies at the heart of the home. Measuring 17’5” by 11’3” this is a delightful space with a tiled floor, metro-tiled walls, a stylish tall column radiator, and fitted Shaker-style wall and floor cabinets with a Belfast sink and solid wood worktops. There’s ample space for a large dining table, a window above the sink provides garden views, and French doors open onto the garden deck. One of the two stripped wood partly glazed doors opens into a rear hallway with doors to the garden, a WC, and one of the two living rooms. Measuring 14’5” by 10’2” and featuring a wide box bay window, welcoming red walls, and stripped wood floorboards this room has plenty of spaces for sofas and other furniture, and is currently used partly as a workspace.

The main living room, accessed only via the hallway, is slightly larger at 15’6” by 11’6”. This has a calm ambience, with all white décor, a wood floor, and an original cast-iron fireplace with a tiled hearth. The wide street-facing window has an attractive arch at the top.

Carpeted stairs lead up to the first floor landing (which a has great natural light thanks to a wide high-level window) where there are three good-sized bedrooms. The spacious and light main bedroom has painted floorboards. Both this and the second bedroom have windows on both the north and south-facing walls, whilst the third bedroom has a garden view. Tasteful white and pale neutral decor runs throughout the first floor, including painted original panelled doors. The bathroom is stunning, with smart monochrome décor including metro tiled walls, a complementary chequered floor, freestanding rolltop bath, corner shower, and traditional-style washbasin and WC. An obscured glass window provides natural light and ventilation

The south-facing garden is suited to year-round use and has the feel of an outdoor room thanks to a large split-level deck that’s ideal for al fresco drinks and dining. There’s also a paved terrace with a shed and a lawn bordered by planting and specimen trees.
