A bright, comfortable house in Palmers Green, with a living room that gives everyone room to breathe and a private garden that comes into its own on warm evenings – fire up the barbecue and you've got the makings of a good night in. Dedicated driveway parking takes one London headache off the list, and there's a proper workspace if you're mixing business with the trip. The neighbourhood has the feel of a classic North London village high street, and Pymmes Park – a tranquil stretch of green beside a river – is a twenty-six-minute walk away.
