Park View, London, N21

IN BRIEF
Park View is a prime Winchmore Hill location, and this immaculately extended and decorated semi-detached four-bedroom property is one of the larger houses, with 1,739 sq ft of space set over three floors and a 220 sq ft studio in the 84ft rear garden.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The modest mock-Tudor frontage of this semi-detached house belies a substantial property within. Considerably extended to the rear and into the loft, the property provides approximately 1,739 sq ft of beautifully finished accommodation over three floors. A further 220 sq ft garden studio stands at the end of the approximately 84 ft rear garden, bringing the combined space to an impressive 1,959 sq ft.

The centrepiece is the fabulous L-shaped open-plan living space. It combines generous kitchen, dining and lounge areas in one sociable setting. A separate front living room provides a more traditional retreat, while a utility room and guest WC complete the ground-floor accommodation.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, combining fresh grey décor with contemporary Amtico flooring, fitted under-stairs storage, a striking striped stair runner and a double glazed leaded-light window.

At the front of the house, the elegant living room retains its ceiling rose, cornicing and picture rail. These original details sit comfortably alongside plantation shutters, fitted shelving and cupboards, soft carpeting and a contemporary log burner, creating an inviting room with plenty of character.

The open-plan hub of the home is modern, with amtico flooring flowing throughout, an array of rooflights and extensive downlighting. Wide glazed bifold doors open directly onto the patio, connecting the interior with the garden and creating a superb entertaining space during the warmer months.

The sleek handleless kitchen is arranged around a large island with breakfast-bar seating and provides excellent preparation and storage space. A comprehensive range of appliances includes eye-level ovens and a large American-style fridge-freezer. A generous rear window and several rooflights bring excellent natural light into the room, while the adjoining dining and lounge zones are comfortably large enough for family life and entertaining without either feeling compromised.

The useful utility room is positioned beside the kitchen, and the stylish guest WC is conveniently located off the hallway.

The first floor retains the house’s traditional three-bedroom layout, comprising two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a single bedroom. Both double bedrooms benefit from wide bay windows, and have fitted wardrobes. The front bedroom has fitted shutters, and all three rooms are carpeted.

The luxurious family bathroom has large-format tiling and is fitted with a bath, separate walk in shower, washbasin console and wall-hung WC. Two windows provide plenty of natural light and ventilation.

The entire second floor is devoted to an impressive principal bedroom suite. This expansive room has several rooflights, a wide window with far-reaching views and extensive bespoke cupboards, including useful eaves storage. The contemporary en-suite has a large walk-in shower together with a wall-hung washbasin and WC.

Fitted internet points in all four bedrooms are a thoughtful addition for home working and modern family life as well as the comfort of a wet under floor heating system in the rear ground floor area.

Outside, the block-paved frontage provides convenient off-street parking. A shared driveway runs alongside the house and gives access to the rear garden. The rear garden extends to approximately 84 ft and is mainly laid to lawn, with a broad patio immediately behind the house and a pathway leading to the garden studio. Its open layout offers ample room for relaxing, entertaining and children’s play. At the end of the garden, the 220 sq ft timber studio is currently arranged as a games room with a separate store. Fitted with electricity, internet, a window and wide glazed doors opening onto the garden, this versatile additional space would also work well as a home office, gym, hobby room or teenagers’ den.
