Hereward Gardens, London, N13

IN BRIEF
Occupying a large plot this 1,308 sq ft extended semi-detached house has lots of space inside and out including a garage and 50 ft garden. Located in a quiet turning Palmers Green, it’s within easy walking distance of a wide range of shops and the station.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The property has been extended at the rear and opened up to create a continuous multi-purpose open plan living space on the ground floor that’s ideal for family life, relaxing and entertaining. Extending from the front to the rear of the house this incorporates a front lounge, a rear dining room, and a spacious kitchen/diner. Two striking frameless smoked glass doors in the hallway open into this space.

The lounge area, carpeted for comfort, has a wide east-facing window and built-in mid-century style cupboards to either side of the fireplace. Cornicing and a ceiling rose add period charm, and there’s plenty of space for a couple of sofas. The carpet runs through to the rear of the room which has an attractive exposed brick wall and ample space for a dining table in addition to the breakfast bar in kitchen. Full height sliding glazed doors in the dining area and a window above the sink in the kitchen provide garden views through the glazed lean-to. The well-equipped fitted kitchen also has several fitted wall and floor cabinets with wood finishes and a peninsula breakfast bar. There’s also a door to a WC with a washbasin and two windows.

Wood and smoked glass are seen again in the modern stair balustrade which leads up to a wide central landing and the first floor which has retained its original layout of two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. The two large double bedrooms are of a similar size, and both are carpeted and fitted with a wall of bespoke wardrobes. The front double bedroom as an attractive bay window whilst the rear double has garden views. The third (single) bedroom has a charming small bay window. Fully tiled and with excellent natural light and ventilation from two obscured glass windows, the family bathroom is a good size. It has a bath with a mixer shower and a wide fitted washbasin and WC console.

Outside, the property is set back behind a paved drive with space to park two cars, and a low wall with pedestrian and vehicle gates. The brick garage attached to the house has an up-and-over door at the front. It doesn’t have a door directly to the house but does have a side window and a back door to the rear garden. The plot widens towards the rear due to its corner position, providing a wraparound c.49 x44 ft west and south-facing outdoor space that’s about double the size of the neighbouring gardens. A large, paved terrace abuts the house enclosed by a glazed lean-to with the look and feel of an outdoor room. The remainder of the garden is lawned, with deep borders and some planting including several specimen trees.

The property had planning permission granted in 2022 for a part two storey side/rear extension and part single storey rear extension, creating a four double bedroom property with a stunning principal bedroom suite. The planning application has been renewed, and we expect to receive granted status very soon.
Offered chain free.
