Meadowcroft, London, N13

IN BRIEF
One of just two freehold apartments in this terraced property in Winchmore Hill, this spacious and light two bedroom upper duplex with a private roof terrace and garden, and an immaculate fit-out and décor, is close to shops, stations, and green spaces.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Located on the first and second floors of a handsome Edwardian house in a leafy residential street, the property has great kerb appeal with a white painted exterior, herringbone brick wall, southerly aspect, and a grand front door with lovely leaded lights and an original awning. This opens into a smart shared lobby with encaustic tiles and doors to the two apartments within.

The upper duplex has a private stair up to the first floor, where the central landing has doors to the living room, kitchen, main bedroom, and bathroom. The second double bedroom is on the second (loft) floor, alongside accessible eaves storage space.

At 870 square feet this is an unusually spacious two bedroom apartment, and the fresh contemporary décor optimises the generous period proportions to give the whole space a light and airy ambience. The living room is located at the rear of the property on the first floor and has lovely high-level views and a glazed door out to a decked private roof terrace. It also has a large sash window, so the whole room enjoys lovely leafy views. Measuring approximately 13ft square and with fitted alcove storage, the room is nicely proportioned and easy to furnish, comfortably accommodating a sofa, armchair, and dining table. A stripped wood floor, exposed brick fireplace (with a wood-burning/multi-fuel/gas stove) add practicality and character.

The kitchen across the hallway is similarly well-laid out with Shaker-style fitted wall and floor cabinets, a glossy herringbone-tiled splashback, wood worktop, and a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances. It has good natural light and ventilation thanks to a window above the sink.

Also on the first floor, the main bedroom is a large double with a south-facing box bay window, a wall of fitted wardrobes, and ample space for a kingsize bed. A dado rail adds visual interest, and the room is carpeted for comfort. The bathroom is beautifully designed and executed with contrasting large white wall tiles and small hexagonal black floor tiles, a grey washbasin console, a contemporary corner shower and freestanding WC, and good light and ventilation from a large sash window. The loft has been sympathetically converted to create a spacious double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and three Velux windows and accessible eaves storage.

The property is in excellent condition throughout and gas central heating.

The apartment comes with a lot of private outside space. In addition to the roof terrace there is also a private 50ft by 20ft section of the rear garden, accessed directly via a stairs from the roof terrace and paved path. Lawned and with a large shed and established trees, this is a lovely space with plenty of privacy.

LOCAL LIFE
The apartment is well-situated in terms of access to amenities, with the local independent shops at The Green, and the train station in Winchmore Hill within easy walking distance. The villagey centre of Palmers Green and the Sainsburys on Green Lanes are also nearby

Palmers Green train station, just over half a mile from the property, offers regular, direct train journeys into King’s Cross (21 minutes), Old Street (22 min), Moorgate (25 min), and London Bridge (31 min).

The numerous parks and green spaces in the area include Grovelands Park, Firs Farm Wetlands, and Broomfield Park, all just a short stroll from the property.
