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 handsome Victorian terrace, this one-bedroom garden flat has been sensitively renovated and cared for by the current owners, retaining a fresh feel throughout. At the front, the bedroom is a calm retreat, anchored by a marble fireplace and flooded with light from the bay window. Plantation shutters provide privacy when needed, while built-in storage keeps clutter out of sight.

The shower room is a slice of boutique hotel luxury tucked into the centre of the home. At the back, life revolves around the kitchen island, whether it's a quick breakfast or lingering with friends. Crittall-style doors draw the garden into the living space and make the whole room feel large and light. Outside, the garden is full of small discoveries. Rich planting softens the boundaries and reveals itself gradually, creating a space that feels intimate and magical.

This pocket of Finsbury Park is particularly well served. The Plimsoll and Tollington's have become destination dining spots, while Top Cuvée remains a favourite for natural wine and long lunches. The Faltering Fullback's sprawling beer garden is legendary for good reason, and Finsbury Park station is around a 10-minute walk away when the city calls.

THE OWNERS SAY

What truly makes living here special is the seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living we created through the refurbishment. We love stepping onto the sun-drenched patio straight from the main living space. The interiors are pristine — in turnkey condition — with fresh plastering and new sockets throughout. The spacious, light-filled bedroom boasts built-in wardrobes, and there’s ample storage under the stairs.

The area is fantastic, being close to both Finsbury Park and Clissold Park — one of London’s gems. Plus, it’s just a short 10-minute walk to Finsbury Park station, one of North London’s best-connected hubs. We've also relished having easy access to 24-hour supermarkets, having a Waitrose and an M&S nearby, as well as excellent gyms and the beloved Jolene bakery. The local pubs are top-notch too.

We've found it to be a peaceful home, with friendly neighbours, affordable on-street parking, and low energy bills.
