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
Set within a corner plot, surrounded by mature trees and planting, this spacious one-bedroom flat occupies the second floor of an attractive Victorian end-of-terrace house. Red brick, steep gables, decorative timbering and pargetting give the building plenty of Arts and Crafts character; even the shared hallway retains its intricate original tilework. There’s a real sense of history here, and of a house that belongs exactly where it stands.
Upstairs, the flat takes a more modern approach, using colour to accentuate the interior architecture, while built-in storage keeps things streamlined. The rooms branch off the hallway, with a generous reception and a kitchen tucked to the side. The bedroom makes every inch count, with bespoke wardrobes and recessed shelving for uncluttered calm.
Crouch End has that rare urban-village feel. Beam, Middle Lane Market and Les 2 Garçons are neighbourhood favourites, while Alexandra Park and Highgate Wood provide plenty of escape from the city. For getting around, Hornsey and Alexandra Palace stations are both within walking distance, with frequent trains into central London, while a good bus network fills in the gaps.
THE OWNERS SAY
We have loved living here for the past seven years. The flat is wonderfully bright, with large windows throughout and beautiful views towards Alexandra Palace from the bedroom.
Being on the top floor makes it feel particularly peaceful, while the combination of nearby green spaces, excellent local amenities and convenient transport links has made it a fantastic place to call home. We'll be sad to leave and hope the next owners enjoy it as much as we have.

landmarks
1 Through the Woods
Behind the unassuming shopfront, hides one of the area's standout restaurants. Open Thursday to Saturday, you must book ahead as they are a single-sitting place, which – in our view – only enhances the experience, putting the food centre stage. The menu changes daily, and while the influences are broad, it definitely has a Scandi-vibe. The food is extraordinary, providing one of the best dining experiences available anywhere in London.
2 Victoria Stakes
The Victoria Stakes is an independent pub that is genuinely part of the local community. Refurbished following a fire a few years back, the disaster seems to have only galvanised the owners and clientele – it's come back better than ever. With a courtyard out back for summer feasting and first-floor dining room for more formal occasions, everything you could wish for from you 'local' is covered.
3 Alexandra Palace Farmer's Market
The Farmers market at Ally Pally has become an institution for local foodies. The range of produce is superb, and there are always some delicious morsels being cooked fresh on the day. And, if you're feeling fit, you can press on up the hill and be rewarded with one of the finest views of London to be found anywhere.
4 Tomo Italian Kitchen
On Hornsey High Street, this is the best local Italian around for lunch or dinner. Seriously delicious grub – the pizza is amazing – and friendly staff who are happy to accommodate even the messiest child with grace, make this such a grat place to visit. The menu changes regularly too, which keeps things interesting, but we always seem to have the calamari starter!
5 Bistro Aix
Simply delicious, traditional French cuisine in the heart of Crouch End. It always feels a special occasion to walk through the heavy velvet curtain as you enter this superb restaurant. The food is consistently excellent, and oh such a treat to indulge in their to-die-for chocolate fondant.
