Description

Victorian two-bedroom house resides on a quiet street. Original wood floors with a wood-burning stove. Kitchen faces rear garden (backyard) and is very well lit. South-facing garden gets good sun and supports cherry, plum, apple and pear trees (espalier style - photos to be updated). Open-plan dining and living-room areas on the ground floor. Two bedrooms and spacious bathroom upstairs. Smaller bedroom can be easily converted into office with south-facing window. Rooms are all recently painted in warm colors (photos to be updated). Bathroom includes separate stand-up shower and bathtub. House is a 10-minute walk from Seven Sisters on the the Victoria Line (London Underground), enabling rapid access (within 20 minutes) to central London (e.g. Oxford Circus, Covent Garden, West End, Westminster, Green/Hyde Parks, etc.). Travel to University College London (UCL), London School of Economics (LSE), School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS), and Imperial College London, The British Library, British Museum, and King's College London can all be done within 25 to 40 minutes (door to door). Two supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsburys) are less than 10-minute walk with local cafe and smaller shops (within 5-minute walk). Local parks are ~10-minute walk away. 20-minute walk takes you to the River Lea which provides lovely walks, cycling and kayaking than can go for several kilometres in northern and southern directions, the latter taking one through neighborhoods like Hackney and Stoke Newington all the way to the 2012 Olympic (redevelopment) site and River Thames.
