Railway Cottage, 2 bed house with garden, N London
My place is close to parks and restaurants and dining. You’ll love my place because of the comfy bed and the cosiness. It's in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood where you can enjoy the London attractions but leave them all behind at the end of the day to fully relax. The transport links are fantastic with a local train station (around 5-10 minutes walk) and trains go directly to Kings Cross and Moorgate in 15-20 minutes. <br />The garden and summer house is a great place to relax.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Our 2 bedroom house is situated in a quiet, residential and safe area of East Barnet village in north London. The house is equipped with everything you could need for a home away from home. It has a TV/DVD player in the lounge and each of the bedrooms, wireless internet connection, washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, underfloor heating in the bathroom, etc. We aimed to make the house as comfortable as possible and have provided beds with Egyptian cotton bedding 
The house was built by William Jackson, who the road is named after, at the turn of the century to accommodate the railway workers hence the name of the cottage. The house is around the corner (not even a two minute walk) from East Barnet village that has a number of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, shops and a pub. The pub, called the Prince of Wales, was owned by William Jackson. There is also a beautiful park nearby (200 metres away) with a children’s play area, a woodland walk, tennis courts, a pitch and putt golf course and a small indoor soft play centre with a cafe. <br />In the more general area, you have the historic Alexandra Palace, with great views of London, which is only two stops on the overground line from Oakleigh Park station. You also have easy access to Trent Park which houses an equestrian centre, an 18-hole golf course and a Go Ape centre. It is also a lovely place to go for a long walk or cycle ride. <br />Nearby, you also have Southgate and Cockfosters both wit
My husband, Rob, and I enjoy travelling and scuba diving and are very sociable. We’re equally happy going out or entertaining friends in our home. Over our years of travel, we have stayed in many different types of accommodation. We use self-contained apartments and houses more and more and have benefitted from the advice of kind hosts. We enjoy meeting new people and love London. We thought we would combine the two in letting our house. We have decorated, furnished and equipped it taking into account all the things that we liked in the places that we have stayed.
