BRICKWORKS SAYS

Every inch of this two-bedroom flat in Stroud Green has had love poured in, with great attention to detail. The living space is bright and structured to create a convivial atmosphere, with neat touches like the curved arch and herringbone tiles providing visual interest. The owners have taken special care to upgrade key architectural elements––the triple-glazed windows, timber-engineered flooring, and column radiators––to ensure these fundamentals stand the test of time.

Spaces (big and small) have been given precise thought. Custom-built panelled cupboards blend practicality with style in the main bedroom, and the landing has been maximised as an office space. But, for us, it's the use of colour that takes the flat to another level—from the painted window frames to the grown-up pink backdrop of the main bedroom. Plus, the bathroom has a vibrancy thanks to cobalt blue tiles; just another detail in a flat brimming with them.

Replete with options for eating, drinking and mingling, it's no wonder Stroud Green Road residents are dedicated fans of the area. Grab a coffee at Common Ground, enjoy a beer in the garden at the Faltering Fallback pub, or go for a meander along Parkland Walk to Highgate, all within a ten-minute radius. And when you need to go further afield, Finsbury Park Station is (unofficially) the best-connected transport hub in Zone 2, with two Tube lines, National Rail services and numerous buses.

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.

THE OWNERS SAY

We're North London folk to our core. After many years in Camden and Highbury, we moved to Finsbury Park five years ago. We've loved our lazy weekend strolls down the Parkland Walk, landing at the farmer's market at the local school for a sausage roll and a natter with new and familiar faces.

We have loads of great neighbours, regularly sharing a bottle of wine together as they spill their secrets from decades of living in Stroud Green. The flat has been our urban oasis. It's our first home together, and we've poured our ideas into designing and creating a space that fills us with joy. But the best bit, far and away, is watching the sun slowly circle the flat from morning to evening. While our next project is calling us on, we can't quite believe it's already time to go.
