Step inside off Park Road and you're in another world. Internally, the house has been designed to create a wonderful blend of calm and intimacy, unusual for a home of this size. It has been refurbished throughout in contemporary style and finished to an exacting standard including oak floors on the ground floor.
The downstairs has been configured to create a huge living space, flooded with light and ideal for family living. The Crittall French windows open onto a mature garden that includes two custom-built decks. It has been landscaped to create a series of discrete spaces, each with its own views and ambience. The garden includes trees and shrubs from Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere (Arbutus, Lomatia, Magnolia, Sophora, Trachycarpus, Eucalyptus, Azara, Peonies, Myrtle, Mahonia, Cordyline, etc). Most are evergreen. With both sets of French windows thrown open, the house and garden merge into one another creating the ultimate space for entertaining guests.
Between the house and the garden is a patio with ample space for a table, barbecue and recliners. Directly opposite the house is an outhouse with electricity and running water. Currently used for storage, it could lend itself to use as a home office or studio.
The front reception room has built-in bespoke storage and triple glazing against the bay window, mitigating any noise. There is also a downstairs W.C. and a capacious floor-to-ceiling cupboard by the front door.
The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, one of which has double doors opening onto a southwest facing balcony. There is also a bathroom, a shower room and a utility cupboard that houses a washing machine and tumble drier. Two of the three bedrooms have masses of cupboard space and bookshelves.
The second floor has two further double bedrooms with dramatic pitched ceilings. The larger of the two has an ensuite and a balcony with beautiful views over the cricket ground.
Further benefits include a driveway that provides off-street parking for two cars and an EV charging point. To maximise the house's energy efficiency, there are solar panels on the roof, a Hive heating system with smart thermostats on all the radiators, and LED lights throughout. The water system is pumped so that there is a good flow of water even on the top floor. And there is a water softener in the sideway to inhibit pipes from furring up and minimise lime deposits on taps and glass.
The house is situated close to Highgate Wood School, Park Road Leisure Centre and Queenswood Medical Practice. Hills Vets are also a few minutes' walk away. The shops in Crouch End and Muswell Hill are within easy walking distance, as are Alexandra Park, Priory Park, Highgate Woods and the Parkland Walk to Finsbury Park. Shepherds Cot offers opportunities for cricket and tennis just around the corner. Transport options include Highgate tube, (Northern Line) 91 (to central London), 41 (to Turnpike Lane), W5, (to Archway) and W7 (to Finsbury Park) bus routes.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on October 24, 2022
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on October 24, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on February 27, 2010 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
