2 bed bungalow for sale

Selborne Road, London N22

This smart two-bedroom house is a short walk away from the open expanses of Alexandra Park in Wood Green, north London. Designed to maximise a compact footprint, this one level-house is thoughtfully configured for open-plan living and has a private courtyard patio at the front. Public transports are excellent; Wood Green Underground station (Piccadilly line) is a seven-minute walk from the house with direct services to St Pancras International, Piccadilly Circus, and Heathrow Airport.

The Tour

The house sits on a quiet residential street, its brick frontage discretely concealed behind secure wooden gates. Entry is to a private patio, with space for relaxing outdoor in the warmer months or keeping potted flowers and plants.

The main front door opens to a large vestibule with space to accommodate storage furniture. It leads to the open-plan reception room, organised with a living area at the front. Here, a large rooflight and a double glass door that leads to the patio invite natural light to pour in. Engineered oak floorboards in warm tones run underfoot and throughout the rest of the house.

The kitchen and dining area are tucked to the back of the plan. There are streamlined cabinets organised in a practical L-shape layout and new integrated appliances including gas hob and oven by Bosch, as well as a dishwasher.

The principal bedroom is positioned across the hall and overlooks the front patio. A second bedroom of more modest proportions is positioned at the back of the plan, illuminated via a rooflight.

The shared bathroom is fitted with large floor-to-ceiling tiles, a large shower over bathtub, and a vanity unit with multi-colour mosaic splashback.

There is a handy storage cupboard in the hall.

Outdoor Space

At the front of the house is a private patio; with space to accommodate a small dining table or seating area it offers the ideal spot for sipping a morning coffee or reading a book.
