Hermitage Road, London, N4

This handsome Edwardian bay fronted three-bedroom house, with a picturesque back garden sits on a quiet no-thru street nestled between two large local parks. The living space is arranged over two-floors and covers approximately 1,035 Sq.ft of living accommodation.

As you approach this family home, you are greeted by the beautiful façade of a distinctive panelled front door, coordinated tiles and double-glazed wooden sash windows in keeping with the period of the house. The house sits tucked away behind a hedge offering privacy whilst still allowing for the front room to be flooded with light. As you enter the hall, on the right there is a double reception room with high ceilings, exposed timber floors and crisp white walls exuding a peaceful sense of warmth and charm throughout. The rooms are complemented by original period features such as cornicing and wooden doors.

To the rear the kitchen has been extended creating an eat-in social dining and cooking space, making this lovely area a much-preferred living space. The kitchen opens onto a mature approx. 46ft. rear garden that attracts sunlight throughout most of the day.

Over the first floor, the three well-proportioned bedrooms with tall ceilings and sash windows offer ample resting space. The large master bedroom to the front has fitted wardrobes in both recesses and because of the south-facing orientation of the double-glazed sash windows, the room is brightened throughout the day by natural light. Both of the other two bedrooms are large enough to fit double beds and offer views of the garden. Occupying a great spot, this home offers scope for someone looking to extend their living space into the loft or side return (subject to all the usual consents).

Within close proximity of some great schools including - Woodberry Down Community School (Ofsted Outstanding), St Marys Roman Catholic School (Ofsted Good), Chestnuts Primary School (Ofsted Good) and Tiverton School (Ofsted Good).

Within a nice walk of green acres of Finsbury Park and within a mile of Manor House Underground Station (Piccadilly Line, Zone 2) and close to all local shops, public transport and amenities.


The Sellers Note -

“We have loved making this house and neighbourhood our home and will be sad to leave. We were initially attracted to the area as it is both quiet and residential thanks to no-through roads, whilst being excellently connected to the many shops and restaurants of both Harringay and Stoke Newington. Finsbury Park is moments away and has great facilities including playgrounds, Park Run, a great cafe and Summer events, and Woodberry Wetlands wildlife reserve (with another excellent cafe) is just a 10 minute walk along the New River Path. With good access to local transport links we can also be at our workplaces in Farringdon and the West End in approximately 30 minutes.

The house has made a perfect home for our young family. We were immediately drawn to the large spaces on the ground floor - the double reception room and the large eat-in kitchen extending out to the terrace and sizeable garden. Thanks to the aspect of the garden it attracts sunlight for much of the day during the Spring and Summer months. More recently the house has provided flexibility with a number of suitable places to work from home filled with natural light. We were also drawn to the potential to further extend the house, both on the upper floors into the loft and on the ground floor.

The area has seen an increasing number of families arrive more recently, a number of which have become our friends, and the opening of two wonderful cafés moments from the front door. Milk on Overbury Road is great for morning coffees, fresh pastries and sourdough from a local bakery, and later in the day Venus on Vale Road make excellent (and enormous!) sandwiches as well as rotating specials including homemade pasta and vegetarian dishes. The local grocery store is very well stocked including craft ales, vegan produce and an amazing range of pastas as well as every day essentials”
