Winchelsea Road, London, N17

This handsome Victorian house on Winchelsea Road has been thoughtfully extended and finished throughout, creating approximately 1,145 sq ft of well balanced living space.

The front reception room is warm and full of character, with a bay window, feature fireplace, ceiling mouldings, wall panelling and fitted cabinetry. Behind it, the separate dining room provides another useful living space, again retaining its original fireplace and period detail.

The kitchen is the real highlight of the house. Extending to more than 25 ft, it has been designed around a large central island, with generous fitted cabinetry, stone worktops, integrated appliances and underfloor heating. Roof lights bring natural light into the centre of the room, while full width bifold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a natural connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. There is ample room for another dining or seating area, making this a space that works just as well for everyday family life as it does for entertaining. A ground floor WC completes this level.

Upstairs are three genuinely good bedrooms. The main bedroom spans the full width of the house and includes fitted wardrobes, while the two remaining bedrooms are both comfortable doubles. The family bathroom has been finished with a freestanding bath, separate shower, patterned tiling, brass fittings and underfloor heating.

The loft has been boarded and insulated, providing a generous amount of additional storage.

The rear garden measures approximately 17 ft by 16 ft and has been arranged with a lawn, patio and established planting. Its square proportions make it easy to use, with enough space for outdoor dining, children and entertaining without becoming difficult to maintain.

Tottenham has become one of North London’s most interesting and varied neighbourhoods, combining handsome Victorian streets with excellent transport links and a strong sense of community.

Winchelsea Road is well placed for the cafés, shops and everyday amenities around Philip Lane, Bruce Grove and West Green Road. Local favourites include With Milk for coffee and pastries and True Craft for sourdough pizza and craft beer, alongside the area’s long established bakeries, international food shops and independent businesses.

There is a good choice of green space nearby. Downhills Park offers open lawns, tennis courts and a popular café, while Lordship Recreation Ground provides further parkland, sports facilities and a community hub. Bruce Castle Park and its historic museum are also within easy reach.

Bruce Grove Station provides direct Weaver line services into Liverpool Street, while Seven Sisters offers the Victoria line and further Overground connections. King’s Cross St Pancras can be reached in approximately eight minutes from Seven Sisters, while Tottenham Hale is also easily accessible for National Rail and Stansted Express services.
