BRICKWORKS SAYS

This sunny one-bedroom flat sits on the first floor of a Victorian conversion. The street is tucked behind the bustle of the high road, offering a quiet refuge in the heart of this up-and-coming area of London.

Inside, the space really breathes, with its easy flow from room to room. Exposed-brick fireplaces, picture rails and engineered wood floors live happily next to the crisp, freshly remodelled kitchen and bathroom. From the calm of the master bedroom to that airy, sky-lit kitchen, this home is a welcoming canvas that can suit any style: from mid-century minimalism to eclectic pop.

POINTS TO CONSIDER

The EPC gives a current Energy Efficiency Rating & Environmental Impact Rating: E.

In the Borough of Haringey, the house falls into Council Tax Band B (£1,275 for 2019/20).

One of two in the building, the flat has a share of freehold with 992 years remaining on the lease. There is no service charge or ground rent. Collective works are done as-and-when required.

Over the past five years, the current owners have added a new roof with skylights in the kitchen and bathroom, improved insulation in the loft and between flats, strengthened the joists and replaced the subflooring with acoustic decking. There are new floor coverings in every room, and the fireplaces have been opened. The bathroom and kitchen are completely new, with smart gas and electric meters.

THE OWNERS SAY

We love the quietness of wetlands, the wildlife, the River Lea and the marshes nearby. It provides a welcome escape from London, even though we’re so close to the tube and the West Green Road that flourishes year on year.
