Nestled in a striking listed building, this one-bedroom duplex apartment with private garden in vibrant Tottenham is stacked with a wonderful sense of space and personality.

Entry is on the ground floor where you step immediately into the ‘loft-style’ open plan living space, with an exceptionally high ceiling that creates a real sense of space. The original beamed ceiling, painted in brilliant white, accentuates the volume and clean lines of this splendid architectural brilliance.

This is paired with a simple palette of white walls wrapped with original tongue and groove panelling, a warm original oak timber floor and a large window (overlooking the garden) which floods the room with natural light.

The clean lines and minimal design of the all-white kitchen are topped with a striking terrazzo quartz worktop. An oak work/dining bench mirrors the flooring.

Sympathetically restored with carved wood balusters, balustrade and spindles, the matt black painted stairs are in keeping with the traditional Victorian design.

They lead you to the lower ground floor where, tucked away below, you’ll find a large bedroom with a good sized built-in wardrobe. The painted green floorboards bring the outside in as you look out onto the green of the garden through the minimal framed French windows.

The approx.17ft. secluded private garden is set over two levels. The lower level has a large patio area for alfresco dining. The upper established garden is planted with a mix of Japanese acers, honeysuckle, st John’s wort, euphorbia and ferns, campanula and heuchera.

You’ll find plenty of storage space including a useful mini office/craft room. A modern bathroom, with chequered tile floor, vintage-style taps and panelling - to continue the theme - sits next door.

Old School Court
Originally constructed in 1848 and serving as The Drapers College for boys in the late Victorian period, this Grade II listed building was cleverly restored in 1998 to become a series of high-end apartments called Old School Court.

The building sits at the end of a no-through road in Bruce Grove. Majestic - home to a stellar one bedroom garden flat within - exuding Victorian Gothic charm with its pointed arches, spire and weather vein.

Old School Court is a secure gated development, meticulously maintained all year round.
There’s a real community spirit in the building and residents get involved with all property matters. There’s two wonderful communal courtyards for BBQs in the summer.

Drapers Road is the perfect spot for those who have discovered this vibrant bustling neighbourhood of North London. With a creative heart and soul, the area is blossoming with cool new drinking and dining options popping up. High Cross pub is opposite Old School Court and the Beehive just over the road, True Craft, Pasero and Café Lemon are a short walk away on West Green Road.

Not too far away on Philip Lane lies a warm welcome at gastro pub, The Palm, as well as Yard Sale Pizza and independent cafes, including With Milk and Forks & Green at the entrance to Downhills Park.

Well connected by road and rail to the City, West End and Stansted, with attractive housing stock and green spaces, Tottenham is currently undergoing an exciting and transformative regeneration programme, and Seven Sisters has been announced as the preferred route for Crossrail 2.
