The Mall, Southgate, N14

IN BRIEF
Immaculately decorated and in pristine condition, this three bedroom, three storey neo-Georgian terraced townhouse on a wide tree-lined avenue in Southgate with off street parking and a 50ft garden is ideally suited to modern lifestyles.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
With 1,690 sq ft of space divided equally between its three floors, this modern townhouse offers flexible living options. The property was designed and built to have the main living room and one of the three bedrooms on the first floor, with the second and third bedrooms above. The current owners need only two bedrooms, so they use the first floor bedroom as a workspace. The property can also be configured with four bedrooms on the upper floors as there’s a large open plan kitchen/diner on the ground floor.

As lived in by the current owners, the house has a living room and workspace (with a fitted library) on the first floor and two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a WC on the floor above. On the ground floor, in addition to the open plan kitchen/diner there is also an integral garage converted to a storeroom, and a WC.

The main impression given by this home is of space, light and simple stylish décor. The property has white walls, ceilings and woodwork throughout, complemented by wood floors and internal doors. The stairs, landings, and bedrooms carpeted in the same subtle grey, whilst the bathroom floors are tiled. All three floors have a logical layout and good room sizes, and generously sized sash windows almost all of which have bespoke plantation shutters. This consistency of style and décor gives the house a calm coherence and relaxing atmosphere.

The front door opens into a wide front lobby with doors to the storeroom and to the large open plan kitchen/diner. In addition to a well-equipped fitted kitchen that wraps around two walls, this open plan room has two full height built-in cupboards, understairs storage, and a door to a WC. All white, with a wood floor and black worktop, this room sets the tone for the rest of the house with apparently effortless ease. With plenty of circulation space and great garden views and access it’s a restful yet practical space.

The living room at the front of the house is on the first floor. This is a serene space with two tall south-facing sash windows, an attractive solid wood floor and a long, low radiator (the house has gas central heating). Across the landing is the workspace. This is another spacious and light room with two windows, this time with leafy garden views. It also has a lovely little library room with fitted shelves (originally designed as an ensuite or dressing room).

The main bedroom and second double bedroom are on the second floor, along with a bathroom, shower room, and WC. Continuing the pared-back aesthetic the bedrooms are all white with grey carpet, and the main bathroom has white walls and ivory floor tiles. This is a fabulous room with a traditional freestanding rolltop bath, a washbasin console with wall-mounted taps and a tall mosaic-tiled splashback, and a school-style towel rail/radiator. The shower room is fully tiled and has a shower and washbasin. The WC on this floor is separate.

Accessed via French doors from the kitchen/diner, the 50ft garden has a deep paved terrace adjacent to the rear of the house. The remainder is gravelled and bordered by with deep abundantly planted beds. The sunny spot at the end of the garden has an attractive specimen tree.
