An exceptional 2/3 bedroom maisonette located on Muswell Hill, unrecognisable from its former-self thanks to a brilliant reimagining by the current owners. The new layout, sumptuous decoration and south-facing garden combine to make this a beautiful and flexible home, whether for a couple or young family.
Just moments from the village with a range of independent shops, boutiques and cafes, as well as well-known chains, you are brilliantly placed for everything that Muswell Hill has to offer. There is loads of green space too, with an entrance to Alexandra Park just across the road, plus Highgate Wood and Queens Wood both within easy walking distance.
The current owners have executed their vision with aplomb. A cohesive style flows throughout, with an engaging mix of industrial elements and touches of refined glamour.
This is exemplified in the reception room, where we love the dark window frames and column radiators that contrast with the lighter walls and floors. Having multiple aspects means this room gets plenty of light and a welcome view of the private, south-facing garden with its raised decked patio and a good-sized lawn, lined with young eucalyptus trees
Stepping down the short flight of steps from the living area, you find the beautifully finished kitchen, which is another of the many highlights for us. From the grey units and subway tiling to the exposed brick walls and stone worktops, it’s a fantastic space – hugely practical and full of textural detail. And while on the lower level, light floods into the room via skylight windows.
I have lived in Muswell Hill for many years, and it’s a fantastic part of London – its height gives it cleaner air and stunning views across the city.
There is so much greenery everywhere: Alexandra Park, Highgate Wood, Queens Wood, Kenwood and the Heath close by, too. The tree-lined streets packed with Edwardian properties are a pleasure to stroll along.
The EPC gives a current Energy Efficiency Rating: C & Environmental Impact Rating: D
Part of the borough of Haringey, the property falls into Council Tax Band D (£1,575 for 2018/2019).
There are 3 flats in total in the building. The maisonette is leasehold with 150 years (approx) left on the term, so there are no worries about having to extend the lease any time soon.
Added to that, the freeholder has shown some interest in selling a share of the freehold, so this could be a good opportunity for the future owner in the long-run. Please note that this will not be negotiated as part of the sale.
The property has its own private entrance. In fact, you have two. Your main is at the side of the building behind a secure gate, but there is an additional private entrance at the front which leads to a large storage area, ideal for bikes or buggies.
The cosmetic renovation work was extensive but the only part of the time and energy invested. The overall internal footprint was expanded by over 50%. Behind the scenes, the electrics and plumbing, as well as the fixtures and flooring, are all brand new.
