The second floor is reached via an oak staircase with birch ply balustrade and marine-ply slatted panelling. This level is given to a massive bedroom within the vaulted loft space. It has its own bathroom with a free-standing Corian bath, set behind beautifully crafted glazed doors with iroko frames. Opposite the bathroom, iroko framed doors also open to a decked terrace with a westerly outlook for evening sun and sunset.
Outdoor Space
The front and rear gardens were designed by the acclaimed garden designer, Arne Maynard.
The front section is a sumptuous accompaniment to the modesty of the façade; a light mask of privacy, and yet a subtle nod to the curation within.
At the rear, the enormity of space allows Maynard’s designs even more ambition. Here. Large interlocking Corten steel forms a series of raised beds, creating the sense of a contemporary parterre or terraces, softened in their edges by meadow planting.
The base of the planting scheme is of violets and wild strawberries, out of which, in the spring, burst a wonderful array of tulips and associated spring bulbs. In the summer it is suffused with lupins, peonies and aconitum which become the second wave, flooding through and enveloping the entire central section.
The garden is punctuated with topiary and held in at the edges by lovely, loose cloud hedges of yew. Pleached pears provide fruit and further enclosure for the garden at a higher level. The garden rises gently from the terrace by the house to the greenhouse, lawn and enclosing hedge at the rear.
The Area
Once royal hunting grounds, Totteridge Village has retained its rural emphasis. Lying on a ridge between the valley of the Dollis Brook and Folly Brook, the area commands spectacular views over London, replete with meadowland.
The house is between the green acres of both Totteridge Common and Brook Farm. There is every opportunity for outdoor activities, with the South Herts Golf Club, playing fields, multiple riding stables and cricket clubs nearby. The London Loop walk allows for walking from Barnet to Totteridge entirely through the park, without having to step onto the roads.
The area functions as a village, with gracefully preserved Edwardian and Victorian mansion house radiating out from Totteridge Common. The house’s local pub, just an 8-minute walk away, is The Orange Tree, known for its picturesque lakeside views and seasonal menu. Moore & Sons is a much-loved local butchers, and Veronica Lancaster is a local icon for her interior design shop with a range of paints, wallpaper and fabrics.
The area supplies day-to-day amenities with a Waitrose and Marks & Spencer alongside independent businesses; a wonderful florist is established beside the station.
There is an excellent choice of schools in the area, both public and independent, which include Haberdasher's, Mill Hill, Dame Alice, Aldenham, Belmont, Lochinver and Queen Elizabeth's.
A 20-minute walk away, the Northern Line at Totteridge & Whetstone reaches central London in approximately 30 minutes. The A1, M1 and M25, are easily accessible.
