3 bed Flat For Sale £1,650,000
This wonderfully bright three-bedroom/two-bathroom maisonette is located in a purpose-built, detached, late-Victorian mansion block on Southwood Lane, in the heart of Highgate Village. Split over two storeys, the apartment extends over 1,800 sq ft and has been refurbished throughout by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard, culminating in a contemporary attic extension undertaken by award-winning local architects D*Haus.
The Tour
Entry on the upper-ground floor leads to a wide entrance hall where stairs ascend to a half-landing with a bright guest cloakroom. A large landing on the first floor occupies the middle of the building’s footprint and is the epicentre from which the principal rooms of the apartment radiate. To the left, a pocket door leads to a shower room in a neutral, contemporary palette with Lusso stone tiling and hardware.
The kitchen and living space is located at the front of the plan and is typified by its tremendous volume; original floorboards run underfoot throughout and reconditioned cast-iron radiators provide warmth. The bespoke kitchen is arranged around a Falcon range cooker and is replete with hardwood cabinetry and appliances of the highest quality including Miele and Fischer and Paykel. Traditional in form yet contemporary in decoration, brass hardware and a contrasting colour scheme of azure blue and forest green make for a timeless aesthetic. A reclaimed, leaded light lies behind a Belfast sink overlooking the staircase, a delightful feature that accentuates the interconnected feel of the spaces.
To the rear of the apartment are two generously sized bedrooms. They are currently configured as a child’s bedroom and nursery but both are easily large enough to accommodate king-sized beds. The expansive main suite on the top floor has both south and west-facing glazing, ensuring the space remains wonderfully bright throughout the day.
A bespoke glass and French oak staircase provides a contemporary ascent to the second floor. To the right, the large family bathroom lies behind a glass Crittall door, decorated in a neutral palette. There is black hardware, also by Lusso stone which echoes the dark powder coating of the Crittall surrounds.
Outdoor Space
A further staircase, also in glass and French oak, leads from the main suite to the roof. This is non-demised, however, it has right of access and provides staggering views over the whole of London, stretching from the towers of the Docklands and the City, all the way to the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium.
The Area
Highgate Village has a wide variety of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, including wine shop Bottle, popular pub The Flask, and fruit and veg shop Greens of Highgate. There is also The Grocery Post on Archway Road, which serves good coffee and sells groceries. There are excellent schools in the area, including Highgate School, Highgate Primary School, St Michael’s Primary School and Channing. Southwood Lane is also close to an array of large green spaces including Hampstead Heath and Waterlow Park; as well as the ancient Highgate Wood and Queen’s Wood.
