Southgate Green, a charming area in North London, has a rich history dating back to medieval times. Originally a hamlet within the larger parish of Edmonton, it began to thrive in the 14th century when it was granted its own parish status. Up until the early 20th century, Southgate Green was a small rural village surrounded by woods and farmland. It remained largely rural until the 19th century, when the arrival of the Great Northern Railway spurred suburban development.
Despite significant development during the interwar years, which transformed it into the centre of an extensive residential suburb and led to its borough status in 1933, much of the village's original character remains intact. This transformation was further driven by the establishment of Broomfield Park, a significant green space that became a community focal point.
The extension of the Piccadilly Line around 1933 brought more development to Southgate Green and the Michenden Estate, enhancing connectivity and promoting further suburban growth. Southgate Green is characterised by well-preserved Georgian and Victorian architecture, reflecting its historical evolution from a quaint village to a vibrant suburban enclave. Today, it retains much of its historical charm, with landmarks like the Southgate Green Conservation Area highlighting its architectural and cultural heritage.
A MESSAGE FROM THE OWNER
"We will cherish all the fond memories of growing up in our family home with countless bbq's and summer evenings sitting in our peaceful garden surrounded by green and nature. The kitchen has been the heart of our home flooded by natural light and warmth.
Our home is surrounded by the loveliest neighbours who have felt more like family for the last 40 years all looking out for one other as the years have gone by.
Having access to so many local parks, the cherry tree, and the piccadilly line just a short stroll away the location has been perfect and practical for us all growing up.
We love how our home is full of character from the moment you enter the hallway.
We will hold onto those precious memories for a lifetime and hope the new owners continue to build those memories and enjoy their new home as much as we have."
