Powys Lane, London, N13

A substantial five bedroom, semi-detached Edwardian Arts & Crafts residence, boasting just over 2,200Sq.ft of character filled living accommodation set over three floors. The property is conveniently located a short stroll to Broomfield Park and Palmers Green mainline BR station (23 minutes on fast train to Moorgate), with Bounds Green tube station (Piccadilly line) and the Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ rated Bowes Primary school also within easy reach.

On the ground floor you are greeted by a stunning entrance hall with original parquet flooring, character fireplace and a wide sweeping staircase. The two grand reception rooms feature high corniced ceilings and beautiful imposing fireplaces. The spacious kitchen adjoins a breakfast room. A door off the breakfast room leads into a WC. A large (partially tanked) cellar which spans the entire house is accessed off the entrance hall.

A large first floor landing leads to four double bedrooms and a stunning family bathroom which was completely remodelled at the end of 2018. The room features a classic clawfoot bath, separate shower cubicle and elegant tiled flooring. The loft has been converted into a large double bedroom with eaves storage and potential for an en-suite.

Externally the property enjoys a superb west-facing rear garden extending just over 90’ in length. The front of the property benefits from a block paved driveway and an impressive storm porch.

The house, which carries the name ‘St. Cecilia’ (after the patroness of music), was built in 1913 and was designed to surround Broomfield Park. The close proximity to this lovely park with its various ponds (including a planned swimming pond), tennis courts, outdoor gym, conservatory and superb transport links makes this an ideal home for families and commuters alike.

What the owners say: “The large garden is not overlooked, which unusually for London gives you a great deal of privacy, and means you’re looking out onto trees rather than other houses. The garden has sun all day, making for fantastic entertaining in summer, and our children have loved having so much space to run around in - both inside and out. It’s a deceptively grand house, and we’ve greatly enjoyed gradually bringing it back to the beautiful period property it deserves to be.”
