2 bed flat for sale

Higham Road, London N17

Spread across the entire bottom half of this handsome Victorian house, this ground-floor flat offers generously proportioned rooms, quality finishes, and meticulous attention to detail making for a fantastic buy in this popular enclave of Tottenham.

The property is presented in excellent condition throughout and retains a wealth of period character, including restored floorboards, Victorian-style cast iron radiators, and draft proofed double-glazed sash windows.

At the front, you will find a warm and welcoming reception room with refurbished pine floorboards, a gorgeous original Victorian fireplace and a large bay window fitted with plantation shutters. This is an inviting, characterful space filled with natural light.

Next door, a double bedroom overlooks the side return and garden beyond, with wooden floors and a large window flooding the space with light.

Towards the rear, a newly renovated bathroom features a large bath, shower, and high-quality fittings. The smart fitted kitchen, arranged with base units on either side and oiled wooden floorboards, opens directly onto the garden return.

The second bedroom lies further along, with patio doors leading straight onto the garden. With underfloor heating, it’s a comfortable, versatile room, ideal as a guest bedroom, nursery, or home office.

Outside, the private south-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with a patio, mature planting, and a few well-placed trees providing natural shade. A bench at the rear creates a peaceful spot to sit with a book.

A special mention should be made of the restored brickwork and Victorian-style front path, which set the tone for what awaits inside. Together they frame a home that feels like a complete package, ready to move straight into.

Tottenham and Seven Sisters are well known for their elegant period housing, vast parklands, and excellent transport connections. The area is home to a thriving, welcoming community and a growing mix of independent shops, restaurants, and cafes alongside established favourites. Popular local spots include San Marco on Bruce Grove—widely praised for its family-run vibe and some of the best pizzas in the area; The Bluecoats pub, now stylishly refurbished with craft beer and kitchen offerings from Ling Ling’s; The Antwerp Arms, North London’s first community-owned pub, beloved for its real ale offerings; Pressure Drop, a thriving local brewery with standout IPAs and fruity sours; and Chuku’s, a Nigerian tapas spot serving jollof quinoa, suya meatballs, and plantain waffles in an Afro-art ambience. Local cafés With Milk on Lawrence Road and Perkyns on West Green Road are also firm favourites for speciality coffee, brunch, and fresh sourdough.

Sellers’ thoughts:
We immediately felt a sense of peace when first viewing the flat nine years ago and that feeling has only grown since. It’s a quiet street and an especially peaceful sunny garden. We’ve made continual improvements to the property throughout our time here, always with the mindset that we’d be here to stay so have tried to do things properly, retaining character and restoring original features where possible.
Along with daily dog walks in Lordship Rec & Downhills Park, we’ve also enjoyed excellent coffees at With Milk, Pasero, Perkyn’s and Forks & Green and craft beers at The Palm, True Craft, The High Cross and the recently opened Elmhurst. It will be a shame to leave all this and our great neighbours behind.
