1 bed Flat For Sale £450,000
This light-filled one-bedroom apartment on the top floor of a traditional Victorian townhouse in Archway has been subject to a careful renovation in recent years. Characterised by tall sash windows, a pared-back combination of materials and a bold use of colour, the interior spaces have been designed to maximise the internal layout. Lambton Road is within walking distance of the green expanse of Finsbury Park and Parkland Walk nature reserve.
The Tour
The building sits back from the road behind an iron gate and a short parapet wall; the front door lies to one side. The entrance to the apartment is on the third floor, which opens onto a further staircase with serene grey walls leading to a central hallway, configured as a useful office space. Arched windows with panes of reeded glass allow natural light to pour deep within the plan while providing a dramatic focal point.
The main living spaces lie adjacent to the staircase. The minimalist white kitchen extends along one wall, where tall cabinets make clever use of the soaring ceiling heights. Plug sockets are concealed to emphasise the clean architectural lines in this room, and a cleverly designed drainage board sits behind a cupboard above the sink. Opposite the kitchen, floor-to-ceiling shelving frames the fireplace on either side, creating a striking feature. Oak floorboards flow throughout.
The spacious double bedroom sits on the opposite side of the plan, painted in Little Greene's 'Tea with Florence': An arresting bold green. Smart bespoke designed wardrobes lie within the alcoves, offering further storage. A large sash window frames uninterrupted leafy views across neighbouring gardens. Next door lies an immaculate bathroom, executed in polished grey marble and replete with chrome fixtures.
Outdoor space
A spacious communal terrace lies at the rear of the building. Enclosed by white-washed walls, this is a secluded space with plenty of room for a table and chairs.
The Area
There is a wide range of shops, cafes and restaurants in the immediate area, including the excellent Big Jo and home art gallery. The house is a short walk from Stroud Green Road, home to organic shops such as Urban Native and Butler’s, in addition to Clapton Craft, Yardsale Pizza and neighbourhood favourite Max's sandwich shop. The restaurants of Blackstock Road, such as Patron Cave à Manger and Slice by Pizza Pilgrims, are also close at hand.
Waterlow Park and the famous Highgate Cemetry are both nearby, as is Finsbury Park, while Hampstead Heath is around a 30-minute walk away. Crouch End is within easy reach, with its excellent selection of shops, restaurants, pubs and cinemas. Alongside Arthouse, a local arts centre and independent cinema, there is also a Picturehouse cinema.
Lambton Road is within walking distance of Archway (Northern Line) and Finsbury Park (National Rail, Victoria and Picadilly Lines) Underground stations in addition to Upper Holloway Overground station. Finsbury Park rail station also has direct connections to Gatwick airport and Brighton. There are excellent bus links into central London.
