One of London’s oldest houses, dating back to the 1450s, and a landmark on this picturesque street. It’s filled with antique furniture, has a log burner and open fire, and two huge gardens. There is no other property like it in London and yet it’s only 45 mins from Oxford Circus.

The house was built as a medieval shopping-point en route into London for gentleman travellers and in the 17th century it was improved to reflect the appearance of houses in the day, with sash windows and a heightened facade. In the 19th century the double-height kitchen was added to the back (then a school room) and the famous novelist and essayist Charles Lamb lived here for a time. The twentieth century saw decline but a recent restoration has made the house good for centuries to come.

On the ground floor is the kitchen, library, sitting room, dining room and one bedroom. There is also a shower room (not en suite). On the first floor two en suite double bedrooms can be found, one which has a twin room leading from it. There is also a light breakfast/morning room.

The house sits within the Enfield Town Conservation Area on this landmark street. It is within walking distance of two stations with direct trains to Liverpool St and Moorgate and the Piccadilly Line is a short bus ride away. The house further benefits from being close to Enfield Town with its multiple shops, restaurants, buses and park, and has easy vehicular access to the M25.
