A MESSAGE FROM THE SELLERS
"Moving into our property at Mountfield Road in 2002 was an exciting time for my Husband and I with our toddler, and a baby on the way. To say it has served us well is an understatement. The House provides such generous spaces that we were always able to have Grandparents, Uncles and Aunties and Friends from afar visiting and staying comfortably within the 5 bedroom house over three floors. As the needs of our family changed, the house beautifully continued to meet our needs too. We had a lovely Au Pair who lived in one of the the top floor bedrooms for many years and then stayed on living there while she got her university degree! The other top floor bedroom provided an excellent quiet study which was used for many years as a working from home base and a spare room for guests. The landscaped garden provided a fantastic space for many birthday parties, easter egg hunts and snowball fights as well as a relaxing family space benefitting from the south facing full sun. Following nearly a decade of family living in the house, my husband started working out of London so we relocated and rented the house to other families for another decade, most recently a family who lived there for eight plus years. When they moved out recently they too described living at the property as playing a huge and happy part of family living in North London"
