1 bed Flat For Sale £375,000
This wonderful, light-filled apartment occupies the first floor of a handsome Victorian terrace house on Alexandra Road in Turnpike Lane. A calming and pared-back colour and material palette have been used throughout the apartment, creating a considered sense of cohesion, while complementing the many original features, including wooden floorboards and balustrades. The apartment has a pretty front garden, and there is planning consent to create two additional bedrooms in the demised loft, one of which can be en suite. Full details of the planning documents can be found here.
The Tour
The building forms part of a terrace characterised by London stock brick and large sash windows dressed in white stucco. Set back from the road, behind a front garden, access is through a vibrant blue front door, to a neat hallway, where another door opens to the apartment.
A staircase with sisal carpet ascends to the first-floor hallway, with white-painted floorboards and a linen cupboard with louvred doors. The bathroom and bedroom are situated on the half-landing at the rear of the plan, cleverly dividing them from the living spaces.
At the front of the plan is the bright living room, where two windows welcome natural light in. The room is accented by a palette of different shades of white, maximising the bounty of sunlight; walls are in ‘Shaded White’, with architraves and built-in shelving finished in ‘Old White’, all by Farrow and Ball. The painted floorboards continue in the living room, where in the hearth, brick has been left exposed.
A kitchen lies behind the living room. Oak worksurfaces sit atop cabinetry painted ‘Studio Green’ by Farrow and Ball; Open shelving is painted the same shade. Brass hardware and a shimmering pastel zellige tiled splashback reflect light into the room and complete the space. Unusually, for an apartment of this type, there is room for a dining table and chairs.
A tranquil space, the double bedroom lies at the rear of the plan. Here, nutmeg-coloured walls by Crown rise from the sisal carpet; a window overlooks the neighbouring gardens.
The bathroom has large white panel wall tiles, a frosted window and a bath with an overhead shower.
The Area
Alexandra Road runs in a northerly direction off Turnpike Lane and just north of an area known locally as the Harringay Ladder. The open fields and far-reaching views of Alexandra Park are within 15 minutes’ walk to the west, and Finsbury Park and Woodbury Wetlands are around 25 minutes’ walk south. There are plenty of good places to eat and drink, including the fantastic Dusty Knuckle Bakery on Green Lanes, and local favourite The Salisbury Hotel pub, both a 20-minute walk away.
The flat is well located for access to public transport; Wood Green and Turnpike Lane stations (Piccadilly line) are both with easy reach with a journey time of around 15 minutes to central London. Hornsey overground station is a 10-minute walk south and provides Great Northern Line services between Moorgate and Stevenage.
