- Outdoor Entertaining
Occupying the ground floor of a handsome Edwardian semi-detached house in Palmers Green, this immaculate and spacious one bedroom conversion with a cellar and rear garden is conveniently close to a wide range of amenities including the train station.
Set back from the street behind a low wall and attractive front garden with a Purple Smoke (Cotinus coggygria) tree the front door of the house, which has lovely leaded lights and is sheltered by an original awning, opens into a smart shared hallway and the apartment entrance door.
The property has lots of lateral space and a linear layout, with the main living room at the rear, the double bedroom at the front, and the kitchen and bathroom in between. The living room is a fabulous space that combines elegant period proportions and original features with contemporary fittings and fresh modern décor. Wide French doors provide garden views and access, a modern stove is surrounded by a traditional mantelpiece, the school-style radiator is pleasing as well as practical, and the original picture rails, cornicing and ceiling rose are complemented by new wall panelling. This serene space easily accommodates a sofa, armchair and desk, and has a useful built-in alcove cupboard.
The separate kitchen is similarly stylish, with dove grey Shaker-style cabinetry, a suite of fully integrated appliances, wainscoting, and a herringbone parquet engineered wood floor. A built-in bench helps create a handy dining area and a window above the sink provides natural light and ventilation.
This tasteful and restrained aesthetic continues into the spacious double bedroom, where the considered décor includes further wainscoting, a built-in window seat beneath the two tall south-facing sash windows, and large built-in alcove wardrobes to either side of the original cast-iron fireplace. The room also has an attractive school-style radiator and is carpeted for comfort. The bathroom has a relaxed and luxurious vibe, with pale beige marbled wall and floor tiles, a window for light and ventilation, and a contemporary fitted bath (with a mixer shower), washbasin console, and WC.
The rear garden, accessed either via the gated side alley or the French doors in the living room, is a lovely outdoor space with a central lawn, planted beds, and a paved terrace.
