BRICKWORKS SAYS

Perfectly proportioned and beautifully remodelled around its plentiful period features, this two-bedroom house with lovely patio garden in Tottenham has that ever-elusive quality: personality. That’s down to its clever design, which brings attention to showpieces like those original tiled fireplaces, while also employing a less-is-more strategy via exposed brick walls and patinated floorboards. It’s a brilliant mix that’s especially captivating in the elegant reception room, the hearth-like dining room and the peaceful master bedroom. And the warm welcome extends out of doors, too, by way of the charming walled garden.

Just down the road from Bruce Castle Park, the house is also close to Lordship Recreation Ground—always abuzz with family-friendly activities. Shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes await along Tottenham High Road. The nearest station is Bruce Grove Overground, but speedy Victoria Line service from Tottenham Hale is walkable, too. Which means you can make it to Liverpool Street or Kings Cross in less than 30 minutes, door to door.

THE OWNERS SAY

When we were looking for our first home, we were really taken with the properties in Tottenham; there are so many architectural gems. Dowsett Road is lined with Edwardian houses, with flagstones marking the original date of 1908. We love the size of our rooms and our high ceilings.

The house has worked wonderfully as a well-connected location for work, as well as a place to host parties and friends. It’s also close to our favourite spots: the Beehive and Bluecoats pubs, San Marcos, Hochima and Beavertown Brewery. And there are lots of shops, restaurants and pubs opening on the back of the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

As a family, we’ve enjoyed frequenting Bruce Castle, Downhills Park and Lordship Recreation Ground regularly, and we’ve found Tottenham to be a friendly place to live. We’ll be sad to leave this home, as it’s filled with many happy memories.
