Homes in Palmers Green
Palmers Green was largely built between about 1900 and 1914, so its streets are full of Edwardian terraces and semis, many with original features such as bay windows, decorative porches and tiled paths. Broomfield Park sits at its heart.
Bowes Park, on the border with Haringey, has similar Edwardian streets. Interwar housing fills the gaps, and many larger houses have been converted into flats. The area sits on London Clay, and mature street trees are common. The area's Edwardian houses were generally well built, and good examples keep strong demand from families moving out from inner north London. Green Lanes is the main shopping street, with some flats above shops.
Areas we cover include Palmers Green, Bowes Park, Hazelwood, Broomfield Park.
