Riverway, London, N13

IN BRIEF
Backing onto the New River and close to all the amenities the centre of Palmers Green, this very well maintained and stylishly decorated three bedroom house perfectly combines original features with modern décor to provide a very desirable family home.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Set back from the street behind a block-paved front drive, this handsome Edwardian terraced house has an original awning over the front door. Stepping inside, the combination of original features and contemporary décor is immediately apparent with original traditional tiled pattern flooring, and stylish blue and white paint showcasing the dado rail and cornicing.

The property comprises 955 square feet of space set over two floors. The original layout has been updated by combining the rear dining room and kitchen but is otherwise largely unaltered. The property hasn’t been extended so there is potential to do so into the loft and to the rear.

The ground floor has a front living room, rear kitchen/diner, and understairs WC. Both the front and rear rooms have wide bay windows that provide excellent natural light throughout. The front room has a traditional feel with a vintage tiled fireplace flanked by built-in alcove storage, school-style radiators, a pale neutral carpet, and original ceiling mouldings including a central rose. The wide northwest-facing bay window with tall sash window provides good light levels without too much solar gain.

The spacious rear kitchen/diner has a more relaxed and contemporary vibe with UPVC double-glazed windows and French doors, an engineered wood floor, and a smart Shaker-style fitted kitchen with a butler sink, metro-tiled splashback, and a combination of integrated and freestanding appliances. There’s plenty of space in the dining area for a large table and a sofa, and the kitchen also includes a peninsula breakfast bar. This is a lovey space for prep, eating, and relaxing, with glorious garden views and easy access to the paved terrace.

The WC on this floor has smart painted panelling and a contemporary washbasin console and WC.

Carpeted stairs lead up to the first floor where there are front and rear double bedrooms with bay windows, a single bedroom with a small triangular bay window, and a family bathroom. There is also a large store cupboard and a loft hatch on the wide landing. Both double bedrooms have extensive fitted wardrobes and ample space for kingsize beds, and all three bedrooms are carpeted. The rear bedroom has a lovely built-in window seat with leafy views.

The family bathroom has stylish terrazzo floor tiles and is fitted with a freestanding rolltop bath (with a thermostatic shower), a washbasin console, and a modern WC. An obscured glass window provides excellent natural light and ventilation.

Outside, the c.75 ft garden has sunny, south-easterly orientation and open aspect, with trees at the and the New River beyond, the raised paved terrace adjacent to the rear of the house, an ideal spot for al fresco drinks and dining, has a couple of steps down to a paved path that runs alongside the lawn and planted beds to a garden shed and second paved terrace.
