Vicars Moor Lane, London, N21

This charming three bedroom stucco cottage with front and rear gardens, a drive, and a garage, sits on an unusually large plot in a prime location in Winchmore Hill just five minutes on foot from The Green and the train station. The property has great kerb appeal and an immaculate interior.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This unique property combines period charm on the outside with a thoroughly contemporary interior. The attractive front door opens into a tiled hallway with good natural light from a window on the landing. This leads to the front living room and open plan living room at the rear and accommodates a tiled WC with a small high-level window tucked under the stairs.

The front living room, which has two sunny, southwest-facing sash windows, is a serene space with a bespoke fitted cupboard and floating alcove shelving to either side of a contemporary gas fire.

The main living space on the ground floor is a huge living/dining/kitchen area measuring 20’42 by 17’7” at the rear of the house. This has lovely views of the garden through bifold doors that retract to provide easy access to a raised deck and create a huge continuous indoor/outdoor area for relaxation and entertaining. The room is zoned into lounge, dining, and kitchen areas, with the dining area conveniently adjacent to the kitchen. Pale grey walls, a traditional picture rail, modern tiled floor unite the spaces.

The kitchen, accessed via a wide opening, is thoughtfully designed with high-spec integrated appliances, and an extra-deep Corian worktop with a seamless moulded sink. A wide window above the sink provides garden views.

There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, all set around a square landing with a large window that provides good natural light and a pleasing view of the converted chapel next door. The main bedroom at the front of the property has two southwest-facing sash windows and a wall of fitted wardrobes. The second double bedroom at the rear has garden views, whilst the third (single) bedroom is currently used as a dressing room. The family bathroom is a generous size, and fitted with a modern bath, washbasin and WC, radiator and heated towel rail. Fully tiled, it has a large opaque picture window.

Located at the end of a terrace, the property sits on a large approximately L-shaped plot that includes a lawned front garden, a rear garden, and a 31 ft long gated drive to the side that extends around the rear of the neighbouring listed former chapel which is now a residential property. The drive provides access to the rear garden and a block of four garages, one of which comes with this property. The other three are owned by neighbouring properties who have a right of way over the drive.

The rear garden comprises a raised deck, a walled lawn, and mature planting including a magnolia tree that’s the ideal spot for a swing. During the summer months the garden enjoys sun all day, offering an idyllic setting for relaxation and outdoor living.
