A new view from North London

Heading south towards central London, is the new Octagon location in Winchmore Hill. This hill-top hamlet is studded with period cottages, elegant Georgian townhouses and a cluster of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and an award-winning pub overlooking the village green.

The two new Octagon properties, aptly titled The Cresswells, after a famous Victorian local family of writers and painters, sit on fully landscaped south west backing plots. The classically designed four bedroom houses are positioned just off Broad Walk, Winchmore Hill’s number most prestigious, graciously lined with mansion-style detached family homes.

A short walk away is Grade II* listed Grovelands Park, created in 1798 by eminent landscape architect Humphry Repton for wealthy brewing heir Walker Gray, as his playpark surrounding his Nash-designed, Grade I listed mansion The Grove. Both Repton’s landscaping – complete with lake and rural woods – along with Nash’s house, still stand today, a popular haunt of local dog walkers, fishermen row-boat enthusiasts alike.

Built to a high specification, both Octagon homes offer similar generous accommodation of approximately 2,450 sq ft arranged over 3 floors. The super-sized kitchen / breakfast / family room expands to 24 x 26 sq ft, with fitted Siemens appliances and underfloor heating throughout.

Adam Bunting from appointed agents Statons, comments; “Winchmore Hill is a charming enclave in North London with a true village feel, offering fantastic travel connections and good schools, making it a very attractive option for growing families.

“In an unbeatable location just off the legendary tree lined Broad Walk, The Cresswells are elegant homes with a truly timeless appeal – and with Octagon’s strong reputation for quality, we’re confident these will be in high demand with both local buyers and those looking to move to the area.”

Winchmore Hill train station, a less than half a mile away from The Cresswells, offers regular Overground services to the City (Kings Cross and Moorgate), taking approximately 30 mins. Nearby Southgate Station is on the London Underground, with Piccadilly Line services to the West End, also taking just half an hour.

The area offers excellent local schooling, including St. Paul’s Church of England Primary School, which received a “Outstanding” in its most recent Ofsted report. Keeble Boys’ School and Grange Park Prep are also located nearby.
