A joyful, design-led one-bedroom apartment occupying the upper floor of a handsome Victorian double-fronted building. The flat is offered with a rare share of freehold and bright, turnkey interiors that include original floorboards, bespoke kitchen joinery and underfloor heating in the bathroom.
Sun-facing living spaces frame leafy views over Downhills Park through original sash windows. The living room’s elevated sisal-wrapped snug and layered ambient lighting create flexible zones for work, rest and entertaining. The bedroom is quietly appointed with large fitted wardrobes and a built-in projector for private cinema nights.
Practical strengths include excellent storage (loft above the bathroom), recently refurbished communal areas, fast broadband and very good transport links from Turnpike Lane and Seven Sisters. Be aware of local challenges: recorded crime is above average and the wider area scores as relatively deprived, which may influence resale or rental demand. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher than insulated equivalents.
Overall this apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a distinctive, turnkey home with period character and strong local amenity links, willing to accept the area’s broader social indicators when weighing long-term value.
