Bruce Castle Road, Bruce Grove, London, N17

Take a stroll around the historic grounds of Bruce Castle, and the streets in its vicinity, and you’ll quickly discover a little-known enclave of Tottenham which, unsurprisingly, is gaining popularity and becoming increasingly sought-after. The 8 hectares of parkland which surround the 16th Century castle provide a beautiful natural landscape including All Hallows Church, Tottenham Cemetery and a large lake fed by a natural spring and attracting an abundance of wildlife.

An established community welcomes newcomers, and a lively selection of cafés, coffee shops, pubs, restaurants and specialty grocery stores continue to serve the local demand. Have Tea on The Green in the park pavilion or visit the Antwerp Arms, North London’s first community owned pub.

This classic three bedroom Victorian terrace house is on Bruce Castle Road which runs along the east perimeter beside the park. The property is in good condition with lots of period features including fireplaces, ceiling cornice and rosettes, column radiators, and stripped wood floor. Modern smart home features include nest thermostat and smoke monitors.

The layout works well with three distinct living spaces on the ground floor; a formal reception room at the front of the house with bay window and fireplace, a kitchen breakfast room at the centre, and a living and dining room at the rear with French doors which open directly onto the rear garden. The garden has a west facing aspect, ideal for afternoon and evening sun, with mature garden plants and trees including an apple tree, olive tree and magnolia. At the back of the garden is the custom made garden office recently built by Garden Affairs complete with mains power and insulation. On the first floor are three double bedrooms, one of which spans the full width at the front of the house, and a family bathroom off the hall as you’d expect. A traditional coal cellar provides ample storage space beneath the hall.

Permitted development rights mean it’s now possible to extend up into the loft spaces and also on the ground floor. The rear windows of first floor overlook the parkland. A loft conversion at the top of the house would provide a master bedroom with seasonal views of this beautiful historic landscape.

Both Bruce Grove Station and White Hart Lane Station are both within 10 minutes’ walk. Join the Victoria Line at Seven Sisters in just a few minutes.
