2 bed Flat For Sale £600,000
The fantastic two-bedroom apartment occupies the first and second floors of a Victorian house on Duckett Road, a short walk from Harringay Green Lanes and Finsbury Park. The apartment has been the subject of a sensitive renovation by the current owners, who have sought to emphasise the flow of natural light throughout, aided by the apartment's exaggerated bay windows on the northern aspect and turreted pitched roof.
The Tour
The apartment occupies an excellent position on Duckett Road, about halfway up the western side of the Harringay Ladder. It is a quiet, residential street of Victorian red-brick terraces, which gently slopes towards Green Lanes. The apartment sits behind a shared front garden which is mostly laid to paving and tiled, with some plants and shrubs.
The apartment is accessed on the first floor, via a private entrance on the ground floor. The landing leads to a contemporary kitchen and dining room at the rear of the apartment, with beautiful south-facing views over the neighbouring streets and gardens through two sash windows. There is built-in shelving on one wall and a small window seat, or reading nook, to one side. The modern kitchen has sleek, pale blue units, Minerva worktops, a Bosch hob and a Zanussi oven; one wall is painted with Farrow & Ball's 'Sulking Room Pink'. Next to the kitchen and dining room is a well-sized bathroom with a bath, shower and black rubber floor.
A short set of stairs leads up to the main reception room. This space is characterised by the exaggerated bay window that defines the apartment's façade, with the generous proportions emphasised by high ceilings and wonderful levels of natural light. Low-level bookshelves have been fitted below the windows and the Victorian fireplace and mantel have been restored. There is also a studio room on this floor, which the current owners use as a dressing room; it could also easily be used as a study.
The second floor comprises two double bedrooms. Both are oriented towards the back of the house, so have leafy views of the neighbouring houses and gardens. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and access to large, unconverted loft space with significant amounts of storage space extending into the roof. The other bedroom is currently used as a study and piano room.
The Area
Duckett Road is very well located within an area known locally as the Harringay Ladder, with Green Lanes to the east and the green spaces of Finsbury Park to the south. There are plenty of good places to eat and drink in the area, including the popular Salisbury Hotel pub, a short walk away. The area is very attractive to families due to its proximity to well-regarded primary schools: Chestnuts, St Mary’s Priory rc, North Harringay and South Harringay are all ofsted-rated “good”, with nearby Woodberry Down rated “outstanding”.
Turnpike Lane and Manor House are on the Piccadilly Line, with a journey time of around 15 minutes to central London. Harringay Green Lanes is on the stretch of Overground that runs between Gospel Oak and Barking. Nearby Harringay railway station runs services to Moorgate (around 16 minutes) and Welwyn Garden City (around 35 minutes).
