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

As you step through the door of this second-floor flat, you are welcomed by a bright, open-plan living area. The high ceilings create a sense of spaciousness and the large windows cast shafts of light, even on a grey day. The living room flows into a practical galley kitchen, neatly positioned to cook while enjoying the background hum of a dinner party. The wooden floor, echoed in the natural kitchen worktop, enhances the welcoming feel.

But the living space doesn't end there. A door leads onto a secluded wrap-around roof terrace, expanding your horizons. High up and tucked away, it has the tranquillity required to escape the stresses of the day or kick back with friends. We particularly love being able to lie in the comfortable bedroom overlooking this private suntrap. The modern bathroom has recently been refreshed, making every inch of this Victorian conversion count.

Found in a peaceful pocket on the border between Hackney and Islington, you won't have to go far to sample the culinary delights, independent traders and coffee shops of Highbury Barn or the energy of Church Street, with its Rolodex of stellar bars and restaurants. For a slower pace of life, head to Clissold Park, or for higher octane pursuits, try the Castle Climbing Centre or sailing and canoeing at the West Reservoir Centre. All the while, you are minutes on foot from Finsbury Park, arguably the best-connected transport hub in Zone 2.

THE OWNERS SAY

It's the ideal flat for a young professional or couple. Finks is right on your doorstep, and N5 Kitchen is a great addition. Top Cuvee is a great little local restaurant. The terrace is incredible—the perfect escape for a glass of wine or coffee on a picturesque, quiet street.
