2 bed Flat For Sale £440,000
With sweeping treetop views over Muswell Hill and beyond, this two-bedroom flat in a historic Art Deco building has elegant period features and a clever layout that makes excellent use of both space and sunlight.
Brickworks Says
Bright and airy, with sleek curves and an austere grace, this two-bedroom flat is situated on the fourth-floor corner of Whitehall Lodge, a striking example of the Streamline Moderne style, dating from 1936.
Original details abound, from the Deco-fabulous tiled bathroom to the Crittall-style steel-framed windows to the glass-panelled front door. (Outside of which is a bank of “trade hatches, ” originally designed for discreet deliveries of laundry, food and coal.) Thanks to its height and position in the block, the flat is bathed in light from three directions and has a coveted half-round bay window in the reception room. There are two nicely sized bedrooms, and since every room opens off onto the long hallway, the entire space feels peaceful and private. The communal areas are lovely, too: The epic brass staircase, wood-panelled lift and full-height leaded-glass window give the building an air of bygone sophistication.
A short stroll to Muswell Hill proper, the flat is also walkable to the vast green of Ally Pally and the shady, winding paths of Highgate Wood. A bit further along is Crouch End Broadway, with its plentiful shops, pubs, restaurants and Picturehouse cinema. Highgate and East Finchley, on the High Barnet branch of the Northern Line, are the two nearest stations.
The Owners Say
We spent two very happy decades in Whitehall Lodge, up amongst the trees. We’ll miss the fantastic views, watching the sunsets and the seasons change from the big bay windows.
The neighbours are lovely, and the block has a feeling of warmth and security. It’s also very well situated for The Broadway and local schools.
Points To Consider
The EPC gives a current Energy Efficiency Rating and Environmental Impact Rating: C.
In the Borough of Haringey, the flat falls into Council Tax Band C (£1,515.22).
The flat, one of 36 in the block, is leasehold with 145 years remaining and an annual service charge of £2580 (collected in two six-month instalments) plus £2000 per year reserve fund.
