THE OWNER SAYS

We absolutely love this home. We have great parks on the doorstep, and there is always something going on locally on the weekends. We have easy access to both Tottenham and Wood Green as both are within a 15-minute walk. We can get to Ally Pally and Crouch End quickly by bus or pop out for drinks or great food at the pubs and restaurants nearby.

We have put a lot of love and thought into making our home a joyful space to be in any time of the year. There is nothing nicer than closing the front door and relaxing – often cooking and hanging out as a family in the kitchen or reading in our lovely peaceful garden. It really is like a little slice of the country here in Tottenham in the summer. We love early mornings when the light streams into the kitchen from the skylights, and we throw the patio doors open and sit in the garden with breakfast. We will greatly miss living here!

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Tucked away at the end of a row of workman’s cottages on a peaceful road in Tottenham, this fabulous two-bedroom home is beautifully finished. Dotted with pretty and thoughtful detailing, the owners have renovated it top-to-toe, the star of the show being a gorgeous new kitchen/diner extension leading onto a private leafy haven. You’ll feel a million miles away from the city bustle.

The modern kitchen provides ample space for family life and entertaining with sleek countertops, a breakfast island, and integrated appliances. Reminiscent of country cottage living, the blend of old meets new has clearly been the owners’ focus, and it has been carried out with aplomb.

On the edges of Tottenham and Wood Green, Courtman Road is a stroll away from Downhills Park with its ornamental gardens and family-friendly amenities. A cluster of excellent Turkish restaurants, buzzy cafes and independent shops can be found further afield along Green Lanes, just over a mile away. Winged by Wood Green and White Hart Lane stations on either side, meaning over and under-ground connections are within easy reach, providing direct links to central London.

1 Lordship Recreation Ground

'The Rec' is a generous green space with a paddling pool, playground, a BMX track and little woods for all kinds of muddy adventures and make-believe.

2 Bruce Castle

Named after Robert the Bruce, former owner of its grounds, this remarkable Grade-I listed manor house has a long and storied history. Its owners include Henry VIII’s “Groom of the Bedchamber” and Sir Rowland Hill, inventor of the postage stamp. Queen Elizabeth I, Charles Dickens and Charles Babbage all paid visits to the castle. And on its grounds is the magnificent Bruce Castle Oak, runner-up for England’s Tree of the Year in 2018!

3 Bikes for Good Causes

Upgrade your ride, get a tune-up or just hang out in the cafe—all while helping the local community. Bikes for Good Causes works with my AFK (formerly Action For Kids Charitable Trust) to support young people with learning disabilities, providing valuable work experience opportunities—and a damn good cup of Drury coffee.

4 Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The largest club stadium in London, “New White Hart Lane” is state-of-the-art in every possible way. Freshly built in 2019, it’s naturally a second home to any Spurs fan, but it also hosts all visiting NFL games and big music acts like Lady Gaga. Most importantly, it represents a £1 billion investment in Tottenham and the surrounding area.

5 Downhills Park

This wonderful Victorian Park has a playgroup, playground, tennis courts, community cafe, and a charming lavender and rose garden, making it a place for all seasons.
