Rosebery Avenue, Tottenham, London, N17

Time and TLC have gone into creating this stylish two-bedroom house in Tottenham, where colour and space have been used with ever-so-pleasing results.

Brickworks Says - It's often said that beauty is found in simplicity, and this home, in a much-loved corner of North London, embodies that perfectly. Having undergone a significant makeover, the owners have achieved an understated yet undeniably cool home that draws you in from the off.

Savvy use of colour is a theme throughout. Joyful green gives life to the flooring downstairs and helps create one seamless living space; deep, warming tones add character to the bespoke plywood kitchen and luxurious bathroom, with views of the park and a showstopper roll-top bath. The two comfortable bedrooms have a neutral palette and are brightened by painted floors, meaning light bounces happily about. And with a substantial loft and large landing, there's still room to grow without compromising the layout.

Outside, the wild garden, complete with a brick patio, has bags of potential and perennials bursting into life year-on-year. With Hartington Park at the bottom of the garden, you're not overlooked, enhancing the sense of space and privacy.

Rosebery Avenue is part of an area that locals wax lyrical about, and for good reason. From here, it's easy to take advantage of everything this corner of Tottenham has to offer –– with independent shops, breweries and bakeries just down the road, you're covered for weekend supplies. Hang tough at the local climbing centre, or take things a little easier at the Antwerp Arms community pub. Plus, with Tottenham Marshes nearby, you can strike out and get back to nature when the mood takes you.

The Owners Say - Our favourite room in the house is the bathroom, which is warm and relaxing and has views of the park. We insulated under the ground floor and installed new double-glazed sash windows throughout, so our house is warm and cosy throughout the winter months.

Rosebery Avenue is a quiet road sandwiched between the hustle and bustle of Tottenham High Road and the relative wilderness of the marshes surrounding the River Lea. For us, the best thing about living in Tottenham has been the mixture of green space and the closeness to all the food and drink spots that North London has to offer, as well as the sense of community.

Points To Consider - Energy Performance Certificate (EPC):
Current Energy Rating C. Potential Energy Rating B.

Council Tax:
The property falls into Band C (£1,608 in 2023/24) in the borough of Haringey.

Utilities:
The current monthly costs are approximately £ 45 for electricity, £ 45 for gas, and £ 42 for water. These figures naturally change seasonally during the year.

Recent work:
The current owners have completely renovated the house during their time, including replacing the windows, installing a new kitchen, bathroom and patio, as well as updating the electrics and plumbing.

Getting around:
Rosebery Avenue is well-placed to access transport links whether you're going near or far. The Overground from Bruce Grove quickly connects to Seven Sisters on the Victoria Line but also has direct links to Hackney, Bethnal Green and Liverpool Street. It's like an extension of the Victoria line with benefits. Tottenham Hale, also on the speedy Victoria line, is a little further but is the central transport hub for the area. Numerous buses run in various directions, and you can also jump on the Stanstead Express to the airport.

Anything else:
The house backs onto a lovely little park called Hartington Park. Dotted with daffodils and new tree planting, it is also home to an outdoor gym. A little further away, Bruce Grove Castle Park is a gem and home to the oldest tree in Tottenham—an ancient sessile oak that is over 450 years old.

Onward plans:
The owners are relocating for work and are selling chain-free.
