This wonderful 5 bedroom town house was formerly our family home - so you can rest assured, it's kitted out with everything you would expect from a home.

As an Irish family, we love to host friends and family, the kitchen is the heart of our home and we've had many a dinner party... with professional range double oven, pots and pans galore, sharp knives, all the larder essentials.... you'll be able to cook up a storm in our home.

The house is spacious and bright and celebrates all things original from wooden floor boards to fireplaces to exposed brickwork and victorian tiles. The downstairs is very large with double reception room, WC and large kitchen-dining space opening up onto a landscaped private garden with outdoor seating & weber barbecue.

You can comfortably sit 10 people at the dinner table with a further 10 people seated on the decking. For those wanting a continuous long table, it's possible to bring the kitchen table to the decking in summer time - or we can configure the double reception room to fit a long table - this needs to be requested in advance....

Both reception rooms have been opened up to create one continuous space... the lower space is the tv and chill out area and the upper space has lots of extra seating. We have sonos speakers in the kitchen and living rooms so you can plug in your playlists and relax.

Upstairs on the first floor there are 4 bedrooms including a family bathroom.

The top floor is huge, with large bedroom, en suite and roof terrace, overlooking the park and Alexander Palace.

We supply a FREE continental breakfast for all guests and are happy to top up foods, should you run out. Breakfast includes:

- Selection of cereals
- Tea, coffee, hot chocolate
- Juices
- Fresh milk & bread
- Fruit
- Biscuits
- Butter & jam

The house is located within walking distance of Turnpike Lane station. There's also a convenience store, cafe, restaurant and pub, within a stones throw of our front door.

Alexandra Palace & the Tottenham Hotspur stadium are also within walking distance, as is the high street with supermarkets, shopping mall, cinema complexes and much much more.

The area has a buzzing high street with all the household brands, a shopping mall, two cinema complexes and many restaurants and bars... Green Lanes is famous for Turkish restaurants so prepare for mouth-watering baklava and shish kebabs….

The house backs onto a large park, with an outdoor gym and is also 5 minutes from Lordship park with a lido in summer time and a large playground with climbing frame for kids. You can even feed the ducks at the little lake or grab a coffee in the local café, nestled between the outdoor gym, playground and lake…

Street parking is available, albeit you certainly do not need a car when visiting London. Permits cost £5 per car per day. You are very well connected by public transport – it’s a 6-minute walk to the tube station and then within 15 – 20 minutes, you are at any of London’s hot-spots. Similarly, it’s a 12-minute journey from Tottenham Hale to Stratford where you can shop til you drop or visit the Olympic Stadium. From Turnpike Lane, there is a direct connection to Heathrow, similarly all other airports, City, Stansted, Luton & Gatwick are between a 35 – 60 minute journey.

SHOPPING:

- Most tourists love Wood Green High Street as it's 5 minutes from our house and has all the high street stores including Primark, TK MAXX, River Island & H&M...

- For boutique shopping I recommend Crouch End, either 20 minutes walk or take the 41 bus. This is where all the media type & artists live and there are some fabulous and reasonable shops to find real bargains.
