" A rare opportunity to purchase both a stunning home and a slice of history! Clematis Cottage, built around 1840, is a unique detached character cottage of great charm, set in the leafy heart of Totteridge Conservation Area, yet within easy reach of transport links to central London.  Locally listed as being of architectural and historic interest, it combines both the Georgian style of its period with the comfort of a well-maintained and cosy interior, with working fireplaces in both reception rooms.  This two-bedroomed property has been completely redecorated internally and benefits from a new damp-proof course and new flat roof to the rear.  There is a small patio with picket fence to the side, flower beds with mature shrubs and climbing plants, and a large garage and allocated parking space in nearby Badger's Croft.  Many footpaths through the beautiful Totteridge Valley and Darlands nature reserve can be accessed almost from the doorstep.
