5 bedroom terraced house for sale

This substantial Edwardian house has five bedrooms, two bathrooms, off-street parking, and a sunny south-facing garden. It occupies a prime spot in a popular residential street in Winchmore Hill close to local shops, green spaces, and the train station.

Woodberry Avenue is a wide, tree-lined residential street of handsome period properties including this five bedroom, three storey, mid terrace house with a smart block-paved front drive and long south-facing garden. The property has been extended into the loft to create a comfortable 1,634 sq ft home and many neighbouring properties have also extended to the rear.

The house has a logical layout, with two large living spaces on the ground floor, three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, and a further two bedrooms and a shower room on the top floor. It retains some original features which, complemented by contemporary fixtures and fittings, give it a relaxing ambience.

On the ground floor, the traditional front door with original leaded lights opens into a wide hall with chequered floor tiles and a dado rail. To the right is the front living room, with the large open plan kitchen/dining room straight ahead. There’s lots of space for sofas and more in the stylish (c.17ft by 13ft) front living room which has elegant proportions including high ceilings and a wide window, an original cast iron fireplace with a tiled hearth and surround, and a welcoming engineered wood floor. Beautiful stripped wood French doors lead to the open plan kitchen/dining room which at c.19ft by 14ft is slightly larger and has great garden views. Smart white handleless wall and floor units and a large island with flecked composite worktops and a black metro-tiled splashback provide plenty of storage and prep space, and the room can accommodate a large dining table and a sofa. Wide bifold doors open onto a huge deck, creating a seamless indoor/outdoor space. Also on this floor and accessed via the kitchen are a utility room and a WC.

The main bedroom, on the first floor at the front of the house, is a large room with a wall of bespoke fitted cupboards and lots of natural light thanks to a wide window. The second double bedroom on this floor has an original cast iron fireplace and two windows with garden views, whilst the third (single) bedroom has a tall sash window and is currently used as a workspace. The spacious family bathroom has two windows, a traditional freestanding rolltop bath with a shower, a sink and a WC.

The top (loft) floor is home to bedrooms four and five (both doubles) and a shower room. The front bedroom has two large Velux windows, and the back bedroom has rooftop views. The shower room has a corner shower cubicle and a traditional-style pedestal washbasin and WC.

The 80 ft rear garden is south-facing and comprises a large wraparound deck with space for outdoor lounge and dining areas, a central lawn flanked by specimen trees and mature shrubs and, at the end of the garden, a studio room sitting on a raised deck with a pergola. At the front of the house, a block-paved drive with a rising bollard provides secure off-street parking for one car and ample space for packing and unloading.
