Glendish Road, Tottenham, London N17


Description
This stylish two-bedroom Victorian mid-terraced house on the western edge of Tottenham has sublime decor and lots of natty little touches.

Brickworks Says

A little way north of Clapton and Stoke Newington is a rapidly-transforming Tottenham neighbourhood that’s home to this adeptly decorated two-bedroom Victorian house.

A sweet blue facade and lawned front garden lead into the open-plan lounge and living space, where the owner’s eye for design becomes clear. A dark blue wall complements a blue-brick fireplace and gleaming wood floors that run throughout the house, while floor-to-ceiling glass doors open into the garden, and built-in cupboards boost that all-important stuff-stashing capacity.

The separate kitchen has been done brilliantly, pairing sleek white cupboards and smart white tiling with rustic wooden shelving. Upstairs are two light double bedrooms, one with an original fireplace and hanging rails in the alcoves.

Outside there’s loads of seating space on the wooden decking, next to abundant greenery; tall grasses and ferns. The large shed at the back of the lawn has been transformed into a white-washed cabin, currently used as a summerhouse hangout.

The garden is undeniably lovely, but one of the best things about the house is its proximity to some expansive green spaces. Tottenham Marshes, with its linked reservoirs and the River Lee, is only a couple of streets away, connecting to Walthamstow Wetlands Nature Reserve. Europe’s largest urban wetland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, home to important birdlife. Better bring some binoculars. There’s a great waterside local, too, the Ferry Boat Inn.

The Owners Say

I bought this property for its lovely cottage look and it’s quiet spacious garden. The garden doesn’t back onto other houses and is bordered by matured trees giving it a calm feel that also attracts lots of wildlife (nesting birds, jays and collared doves are frequent visitors).

Since i’ve been here i’ve landscaped the garden, adding low maintenance grass and perennial planting, a summer house, and brought in a tree surgeon to prune back some larger trees. I’ve also renovated the house throughout, restoring period features, adding more work space to the kitchen, and adding eco-friendly cork and rubber flooring.

I really love all the surrounding green spaces, with Lordship rec and Downhills park nearby and a short walk to Tottenham marshes with the riverside paths of the Lee Valley way leading into east London.

Bluecoats, the Beehive and the stylish and retro cocktail bar Mona’s are all close by. It’s a short bus ride to lots of lovely cafes and restaurants - Perkyns, Forks and Greens and The Palm are some of my favourites.

Points To Consider

The EPC gives a current Energy Efficiency Rating of D.

Part of the borough of Haringey, the property falls into Council Tax Band C (£1,604 in 2021/22).

The owner has lived in the house for seven years, in that time adding new units and worktops in the kitchen, replacing the flashings on the roof, adding new floors to the bathroom and kitchen and landscaping the garden.

It has excellent transport links from Bruce Grove Rail Station (0.7 miles), Tottenham Hale station for the Victoria tube line (1mile) and Northumberland Park station (1.1 miles).

Monthly utility costs are usually £50 for gas, £40 for electricity, £5 for water.

Weekends here might mean following the Lee Valley walkthrough Hackney Marshes to the warehouses and canal-side pubs of Hackney Wick and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, heading up to the Lee Valley White Water Centre for some kayaking, visiting the Bruce Castle Museum or hiking in Epping Forest.

Tottenham has some of Londons’ best microbreweries and taprooms, including Beavertown and Pressure Drop.
