Set on the top floor of a Victorian conversion, this one-bedroom apartment offers a bright, spacious layout with standout park views. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glazed doors frame treetop vistas over Downhills Park and open onto a Juliet balcony, making the living space feel larger and very light-filled. The open-plan kitchen is well organised with birch plywood cabinetry and integrated appliances, plus built-in storage throughout to maximise the footprint.
Practical points suit a buyer preferring low running hassle: share of freehold with 993 years left, chain-free sale, recent roof repair under guarantee, and a replaced double-glazed sash window in the bedroom. Transport links are solid for the location — Turnpike Lane (Piccadilly line) is about a 10-minute walk, with Hornsey and Seven Sisters within roughly a mile.
Be clear about the downsides: the Energy Performance Certificate is currently a D. The building is managed collectively and communal works are agreed and paid for as required, so occasional costs may arise. The neighbourhood is undergoing change and has higher-than-average crime statistics and local area deprivation indicators; buyers should factor this into any long-term plans.
Overall this is a large-feeling, characterful top-floor flat that will appeal to first-time buyers or anyone seeking an unusually spacious one-bedroom near generous green space. The combination of park outlook, modernised interior touches and long lease length makes it a straightforward purchase for those prioritising light, storage and proximity to central London transport links.
