THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Spanning two floors within a handsome Victorian building, this remarkable property has an abundance of lateral space and natural light on both levels.

The flat retains some lovely Victorian detailing for a property of its age, including lofty dimensions, decorative coving and ceiling roses. But, in our view, the contemporary additions, including a spectacular, floating wooden staircase, elevate the space and make it truly special. The main bedroom suite deserves a particular mention. This principal sleeping space feels calm and opulent, with copious built-in storage, a designated dressing area, and an ensuite shower room. We also love that it has direct access to the garden, which is perfect for throwing open the doors on a sunny morning.

Ashley Road is neatly positioned near Crouch End and Stroud Green, two wonderful areas with distinct feel and flavour. The former is long-established as one of North London's most coveted neighbourhoods, with a village-like feel that gravitates around the Broadway, which is full of delis, shops and restaurants. Stroud Green has a more youthful vibe, but the number of stellar places to eat and drink grows every year. Only a little further, and still within close proxy, Finsbury Park continues to evolve and is now home to Gail's bakery and a Picture House Cinema. The transport links here are some of the best in the capital.

THE OWNERS SAY

This charming home offers more than just a peaceful place to live—it's part of a truly welcoming neighbourhood. We have such wonderfully friendly neighbours, it's a rare find in the city.

Families connected to Coleridge Primary School and Coolhurst Tennis Club will appreciate the strong community spirit, while everyone can enjoy the area's independent cafés, local shops, and village-like atmosphere. It's a place where people know your name and say hello—a real sense of belonging.

This house has been loved and lived in, and now it's ready for its next chapter. We'll miss it deeply, but we're also excited for someone new to make it their own.
