4 bed Flat For Sale £950,000
Grand historic home offering an impressive 1766 sq ft/ 164 sq M | Chain free sale - long Leasehold 900+ years | Four larger-than-average bedrooms | Two bathrooms | Feature 6 Large, south-east facing patio balcony | Retaining much period charm | Fantastic views across neighbouring gardens and skyline
Rare to the market and lovingly cared for and improved by the owner for over 30 years, a substantial four-bedroom flat arranged across three floors and boasting an impressive 1766 sq ft/ 164 sq M of living space.
Two art-school graduates split the original five-story house into just two flats decades ago, so is unusually preserved with original proportions, and further restored since then. This is an out-of-the-ordinary opportunity to acquire a grand historic home on multiple levels, with five working fireplaces, fifteen windows, linked with an imposing staircase. Its fortunate position opposite a road, means every room has a view, the dual-aspect living area is stunning, and all four bedrooms are larger than average with wooden floors and you overlook park-like green spaces to the rear yet have the amenities of urban life at your door. Progressing up the building, you start to see views of London through the (lovely) windows that light the stairwell until you can see the whole skyline at the top of the house – fantastic by day and night.
Entering through a leafy front garden, hidden away from the street by beautifully landscaped hedges, you are greeted by one of the grandest merchant homes in the area. An imposing entry door leads into a large communal hallway with newly decorated and restored coving shared between just two flats.
Up a large barrel staircase, the entire first floor opens up into the impressively large semi-open plan, double reception room and kitchen. Dual aspect, fantastic natural light floods the rooms through huge sash windows. Original features such as marble fireplace and coving give an even more opulent feel. A galley-style kitchen (featured in a magazine), with custom shaker style wall and base units, custom soap-stone sink and surfaces provide plenty of space for essential appliances and gas range cooker, tumbled marble floor complete this beautiful space. The living-area is further enhanced by stepping onto a generously sized, south-east facing patio balcony, where you enjoy a sun-drenched space most of the day for entertaining and dining or the perfect spot for sunbathing.
Stairs lead up to the second floor, past a wonderful wooden-framed sash window creating a bright and airy feel, offering larger-than-average double bedrooms to front and rear with original wooden flooring, cast-iron fireplaces, and coving/picture rails. A bright, spacious family bathroom benefits from limestone floor, shower/bath combination and large vanity unit.
Each floor has a slightly different feel and the top floor is nestled in the gables of a Mansard roof (which you can access and see the whole city from). You find a further two larger-than-average double bedrooms and stunning views across the entire London skyline, over leafy gardens, to The Shard in the south, with original wooden flooring (and the fifth of the five working fireplaces). A second bathroom is reached through a sweet walk-in closet/dressing room with plenty of storage.
Occupying a location rapidly growing in popularity, much loved for its eclectic nature and community feel, excellent transport links at Finsbury Park station (Piccadilly & Victoria lines, National Rail & Thameslink Services), Crouch Hill Overground and a growing selection of local coffee shops, bars, and eateries can be found at both Stroud Green & Crouch End. The green and open spaces at Finsbury Park, the nature reserve Parkland Walk, and Wray Crescent are also close by.
Internal viewings are simply a must to fully appreciate the generous space, light, views, and fantastic atmosphere of this grand home!
