IN BRIEF
Occupying a prime location in the desirable Lakes Estate, this attractive four bedroom Edwardian terraced house close to the villagey centre of Palmers Green and Winchmore Hill is in immaculate condition.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Thoroughly renovated and decorated to a very high standard, this house has plenty of character thanks to a considered combination of original features with modern fittings, fixtures and décor. With typically generous Edwardian proportions, its large windows and good room sizes this is a light and spacious home. The front door, which has lovely original leaded lights and is sheltered by the original awning, opens into a wide hallway with traditional monochrome encaustic floor tiles, a dado rail and cornicing, a cast iron radiator, and stripped wood doors. A smart WC is tucked under the stairs alongside two built-in cupboards.

The front room to the right is calm and elegant with a stripped wood floor offset by white walls and woodwork, good natural light from a wide bay window with shutters and built-in alcove shelving and cupboards to either side of the stunning original cast iron fireplace. Cornicing and a ceiling rose draw attention to the high ceiling. Measuring 17’3” by 13’6” there’s plenty of room for sofas and more. The rear lounge is similarly large (16’9” by 11ft) and has a similar vibe with a stripped wood floor and all-white walls and woodwork. Wide full height windows and French doors provide great garden views and access.

Also located at the rear of the house, the huge 25’4” by 8’11” kitchen/diner is another lovely room with an original leaded lights above the door from the hall and a welcoming stripped pine floor. This room has plenty of space for the dining and kitchen areas and lots of light thanks to a south-facing window in the dining area, a window above the sink, and a glazed door to the garden. The kitchen is simple and stylish, with a tiled floor, fitted white Shaker-style wall and floor cabinets with a butler sink and integrated and freestanding appliances, a white metro-tiled splashback, and solid wood worktops.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms have bay windows and stripped wood floors and doors, whilst the stairs and landing are carpeted. Each bedroom has its own particular appeal, including the striking original fireplace in the main front bedroom; the wide shuttered bay window with garden views and fitted corner wardrobes in the second double bedroom; the charming fireplace and tall bay in the third double bedroom; and the street view from the fourth bedroom bay. The bathroom is superbly designed and executed with complementary white wall and floor tiles, a traditional freestanding rolltop bath (with a mixer shower), a walk-in shower cubicle, a washbasin console, and a concealed cistern WC. Two high level windows provide natural light and ventilation.

Accessible from the rear lounge and the kitchen/diner, the 100ft rear garden has a sunny southeasterly aspect, and plenty of privacy thanks to the mature shrubs and trees bordering the long lawn and in neighbouring gardens. The paved terrace adjacent to the house is an ideal place for outdoor furniture and al fresco drinks and dining. At the end of the garden there is a shed and a gate to a rear alley with pedestrian access.
