Caan and Rose are proud to present for sale this late Georgian terraced house, built in the first half of the 19th century, a rare opportunity to live in the heart of old Tottenham Village. Winter Cottage is a beautiful period property nestled between Tottenham Cemetery and glorious open views of Bruce Caste Park. Clues to its former identity as a shop are offered by the handsome Georgian bay window and the striking white panels on the exterior. The park is always a hub of local activity with the annual Tottenham Carnival, tennis courts, playground and Lido as well as the fine manor house that gives the park its name and houses the local museum and weekly childrens activities.
Winter Cottage was originally the mason's shop serving the needs of the cemetery close by, and Mr Winter was a noted local craftsman; his work can be found dotted throughout the picturesque Victorian cemetery as well as being displayed in Bruce Castle Museum, located a short walk across the park.
Inside the front door opens onto a generous living room, always brightly lit by the windows on three sides. This area can be used either as a very generous living space or dressed as a dining area if the third bedroom is required. In this configuration there is still plenty of room for two large sofas arranged around the alcove under the stairs that houses the TV. An under-stairs cupboard provides useful storage and bespoke bookshelves cover one wall.
Steps lead down into a fully fitted galley kitchen with double sink in a stylish stainless steel worktop, integrated dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge/freezer, double oven, hob & extractor hood and a microwave. We have comfortably catered Christmas for 12 in this kitchen and carried it through to the newly extended dining area, which easily sits the whole family. On summer evenings long meals around this table are a pleasure with the full-length glass doors open on to the garden beyond. Although the room is currently furnished as a dining room it could be equipped with a sofa bed and the room used as a generous third bedroom.
The slate tiles lead through from the kitchen unifying the dining area with the private, beautiful and very low-maintenance yard that basks in the morning sun just in time for weekend coffee.
Upstairs the landing leads off onto a fitted office area, and the newly refurbished bathroom beyond and the two bedrooms. Another fitted wardrobe stands on the landing outside the master bedroom. This bedroom is a beautifully generous and bright room with outstanding views across the park at all times of the year; like everywhere in the house windows on two aspects ensure that the room is always flooded with natural light. The master bedroom features one wall of fitted wardrobes. Similarly the second bedroom benefits from dual aspects and is more than large enough for a couple to share if desired.
Tottenham is rapidly becoming a very desirable place to live. Access to the Victoria line means that its an easy run into town and the City can easily be reached from White Hart Lane. The massive redevelopment around the football stadium is bringing investment and regeneration to the whole area and the house is perfectly situated for North Middlesex Hospital, which is only a fifteen minute walk away. And Tottenham Village is right at the green heart of this bustling neighbourhood. As well as the park with its museum and tennis courts this stunning house is walking distance from supermarkets and excellent local shops, first-rate transport facilities (Oxford Circus in half an hour) and is in the catchment area from a number of extremely good primary and secondary schools. And theres even a pub on the corner!
