BRICKWORKS SAYS

This handsome flat will win you over before you even step over the threshold. Inside, high ceilings, ornate detailing, and timeless sash windows provide a wonderful backdrop, marrying grand proportions with a cosy sensibility. It’s most definitely a home designed for modern living, with a shaker-style kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar (great for gatherings), and a pretty, pastel bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The main bedroom is wonderful, with oak panelling creating an intimate feel and the added perk of French doors onto the terrace decked out in wood. It's an escape where you can enjoy the evening sun and the ever-changing seasons. Down the stairs, you’ll find a home office, ideally tucked away and separate from the main part of the flat, inspiring productivity.

Finsbury Park is about so much more than its transport connections, although they are ridiculously good! As it continues to evolve, some heavyweight retailers are moving in, including M&S and Picturehouse cinema, but there are still plenty of independents. For us, you can’t go wrong with Bookbar, where books, coffee and wine go hand-in-hand, and Finks Salt & Sweet, where the challah bacon roll will be your new favourite brunch. That’s not all; the wide open spaces of Finsbury Park and the Parkland Walk are just a stroll away.

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

It's rare to find such a light and airy flat in the middle of London. I've loved waking up with the sun streaming through the giant windows in the kitchen and lying in bed with a coffee, looking out onto the greenery of the gardens beyond.

It feels like a little urban sanctuary, and you'll be surprised by the wildlife you can spot! All in all, it's been a perfect home for me, and I hope the next owners will enjoy its uniqueness as much as I have.
