Hoppers Road, London, N21

IN BRIEF
This spacious and stylish three bedroom Edwardian house in Winchmore Hill is a prime example of a modernised period home. Ideally located within easy walking distance of shops, good schools, and the station, it has scope for extension into the loft.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Set back from the road behind a paved front garden with a low wall and a metal gate, this terraced house has an attractive red brick frontage with new sash windows and an awning over the front door. This opens into a hallway with doors to the large living room and kitchen/diner, and a neat understairs WC. There are two main living spaces on the 750 sq ft ground floor; a living room (formerly two rooms) and a spacious kitchen/diner, whilst the first floor has three bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a spacious landing with a hatch to the loft (which has the potential for conversion).

The 22’7” by 12’7” living room has elegant period proportions and good natural light thanks to a wide west-facing bay window (with bespoke plantation shutters) at the front and French doors to the kitchen/diner at the rear. With two stunning vintage fireplaces offset by simple mainly white décor this is a relaxing open plan space with ample room for sofas and a dining table.

The white walls continue into the kitchen/diner which has a more modern feel. Occupying the ground floor of the rear extension it has great garden views through a picture window and bifold doors that open onto a terrace. Three rooflights add sky views and additional light and ventilation. The fitted kitchen is extensive with Shaker-inspired fitted cabinets, an island/breakfast bar, quartz worktops, and a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances. Slim horizontal metro tiles in a subtle peachy pink provide a smart splashback. The room easily accommodates a large dining table and a window seat under the picture window.

The large 19’8” by 10’8” main bedroom spans the front of the house and has three west-facing sash windows whilst the second double bedroom and third bedroom have garden-facing sash windows. All three bedrooms have original built-in wardrobes and fireplaces. The family bathroom is fabulous. Stylish slim metro tiles line the lower walls, perfectly offsetting the contemporary freestanding bath, shower cubicle, washbasin console and WC. And the pink of the terrazzo washbasin is echoed in the floor tiles.

The property is in excellent condition throughout, combining period features with modern fixtures, fittings and stylish decor. Key original features include the new sash windows, ceiling cornicing and roses, fireplaces and mantelpieces, stripped pine doors, and built-in cupboards in the bedrooms. Contemporary highlights include the kitchen cabinets, bathroom fittings, school-style radiators, engineered wood floors and the modern glazing in the kitchen extension.

To the rear of the house, the 34ft east-facing garden comprises a paved and sheltered raised terrace adjacent to the rear of the house with four steps down to a lawn with a flowerbed, a specimen tree, and a wooden shed at the end.

LOCAL LIFE
The property is conveniently close to a wide range of amenities including train station and the eclectic range of independent shops at The Green, the neighbourhood centre of Winchmore Hill, and the many stores along Green Lanes (amongst which are Sainsbury’s and Waitrose).

Winchmore Hill train station, just over half a mile from the property, has regular direct sub 30-minute trains to Moorgate in the City.

There are lots of great parks and green spaces nearby, including nearby Woodcroft Wildspace and Grovelands Park, and within approximately a mile of the property Broomfield Park, Firs Farm Wetlands Park and Oakwood Park.
