2 Bedroom Terraced House, Farrant Avenue, Noel Park, N22

BRICKWORKS SAYS

There’s something inherently charming about this Victorian two-bedroom home, set in the Noel Park conservation area — one of the first planned Victorian 'model' suburbs. It's cottage-sized but cleverly so. Built-in alcove storage has been used well, so rooms feel balanced and unfussy. And original details are reassuringly intact: sash windows, a cast-iron fireplace, proper skirting boards, and cornicing that speaks softly of the home’s heritage.

To the rear, things open up beautifully. A thoughtful extension creates a contemporary kitchen and dining space designed for modern life, with generous amounts of streamlined cabinetry. Full-width bi-fold doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, leading to a south-facing garden that’s leafy, colourful and refreshingly low-maintenance. It’s a bird-filled backdrop in spring and summer, made for relaxed lunches and late-evening dinners. At the bottom, a cabin sits ready as a studio, an office, or a potting shed.

Noel Park is known for its strong sense of community and neighbourly spirit. You’re close to green open spaces, excellent independent cafés and restaurants, and well-connected transport links that make getting into central London easy.

THE OWNERS SAY

We’ve absolutely loved making this light-filled, joyful home ours, and it’s bittersweet to be leaving. However, it’s time for someone else to make their memories here. We’ve poured our hearts into the garden and love that we can enjoy it whether we’re sat at the kitchen table, working in the cabin, or sitting on the decking sipping a coffee in the sunshine.

The area is friendly, community-minded and multicultural, and it’s been a blessing to have so much green space on our doorstep, with Russell Park, Alexandra Palace, Lordship Rec and Downhills Park all so close. Our street is lovely and friendly, and the area is full of families and creatives.

We’ve made the most of the amenities around us, enjoying brunches in Olive Three and Charlie’s, dinners at Bolland and Crust, and drinks in the Westbury. We will miss it dearly, but we won’t be going too far to begin the next chapter of our lives.

Recent work:
The current owners have carried out a number of practical improvements to the house, including installing a new boiler and replacing the radiators throughout. They also added a garden cabin, which is fully functional with heating and electricity. More recently, the original black-and-white Victorian tiles on the front path have been restored, moss has been cleared from the roof and surrounding areas, and the guttering has been renewed. The house has also been repointed to help maintain the building’s natural breathability.

Getting around:
Wood Green & Turnpike Lane (Piccadilly line, Z3) are both about a 15-minute walk away, with direct connections to central London and beyond. Lordship Lane is at the end of the road, with bus routes heading west to Turnpike Lane and east towards Tottenham and Walthamstow.

Onward plans:
The current owners are actively looking for their next home. They’d like one or two more bedrooms to take care of their parents and start a family.

Anything else:
Noel Park Estate has that rare, slightly subversive quality of feeling like a village that just happens to sit in Zone 3 — orderly Victorian terraces, proper front doors and a street rhythm that’s remained intact. Built as one of London’s earliest model suburbs, it still carries that thoughtful, human-scale design: sociable, handsome, and proud of its architectural coherence.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
