  • The house is on the market in Haringey, London and sits over  5,600 sq ft of land.

A fairytale style cottage which is shaped like a mushroom has gone on the market for £350,000. 

The two-bedroom home built in the early 1800s and dubbed ‘The Mushroom House’ is located in Haringey, London.

The Grade II listed building was originally used as the house for the gatekeeper and staff of the Chilts House Estate. 

The house sits on over 5,600-square-feet of land with a stunning garden that was re-wilded over the last year.

The property is fitted with a central double brick chimney breast, wood beams and a kitchen and living area that flows around the fireplace, with a front and back door providing access from all sides.

The beauty of the property is in its details, with two double bedrooms carved out of the mushroom house, one retaining the brick fireplace, and a bathroom that has been stripped back to its beams and plastered in a beautiful way. 

There also is a loft space accessible from the hallway. 

Other parts of the former estate still remain including ‘George Meehan House’, which is on the south side of Woodside Park was built in 1865, and was a private residence before being amalgamated into the estate in 1875, and then later into public hands.

‘Grade two listed by Historic England they describe the building as having the appearance of an ‘C19 Ornamental Dairy’, which is not far from its future potential’, said the listing.

‘Underfloor heating is present throughout the property, flowing just below lovely parquet flooring. The nature and construction of this building means it is kept remarkably cool in summer but retains heat well, rare for a Georgian era property in London.

‘Despite the main entrance being on a bus route, you barely hear the traffic once inside.

‘Haringey council, the freeholder, aspires for the next live/work commercial tenant to operate the property as something of benefit to the local community, although any business will be considered, the present owner is a photographer.’

The location of the property is very well connected.
