Green Lanes, London, N4

Set on the first floor of an imposing Victorian villa, just moments from the green lawns of Clissold Park and Finsbury Park, and a stone’s throw from the reservoir, this three-bedroom flat offers 821 square feet of light-filled living space.

A gravel driveway and communal front garden frame the approach, while a set of handsome stone steps, typical of the Victorian era, lead you into the building. Once inside, a welcoming hallway provides access to every room.

At the rear of the property, the main living area opens up into a characterful open-plan space. Exposed brickwork, timber beams, engineered wood flooring that sits neatly on top of a high-tech sound-proof floating-floor system, with a large sash window all adding warmth and charm. The kitchen sits smartly to one side, clad in wood and cleverly arranged to maximise workspace and storage, while remaining connected to the living area. A French door leads out to a private terrace with an east-facing outlook onto the quiet Portland Rise.

There are three double bedrooms, all offering comfortable and flexible accommodation. Currently arranged as two bedrooms and a home office, the layout will appeal to anyone looking for space to work from home. A hidden Jack-and-Jill WC links two of the rooms, while a stylish family bathroom, complete with a bathtub and rainfall shower, completes the internal layout.

Outside, the flat enjoys access to a large communal garden, providing a great space for summer gatherings. A private off-street parking space at the front adds extra convenience.

Perfectly positioned just away from the lively stretch of Green Lanes, 289C is in the heart of Hackney, a North London neighbourhood known for its energy, culture and community spirit. The high street is a real local gem, packed with Turkish bakeries, independent cafés, restaurants and shops, and Finsbury Park boasts a Picture House, a theatre, gyms, and a bowling alley, with larger supermarkets nearby for everyday essentials. Clissold Leisure Centre, and Stoke Newington are also within easy reach.

There is no shortage of green space in the area. Finsbury Park is just around the corner, with its open fields, tennis courts, boating lake and regular events. The tranquil New River Path and Woodberry Wetlands are within easy walking distance, while Clissold Park and Alexandra Park the Parkland Walk (a nature trail which connects Finsbury Park to Highgate) are also close by.

Transport connections are excellent. Manor House Underground Station, on the Piccadilly Line, is just up the road (4 minute walk), and the close by Finsbury Park Station offers the Victoria Line, Piccadilly Line and National Rail services. Numerous bus routes run through the area, keeping you well connected across the city.

This is a home that combines space, style and convenience, with a strong sense of local character and excellent access to green space, transport and amenities.
