Lausanne Road, London, N8

Chain Free. Spread across the top two floors of a handsome Victorian house, this three-bedroom flat has been cleverly reconfigured to create a sociable and inviting home with thoughtful design throughout.

Stepping up into the flat, a spacious entrance hall provides access to all principal rooms.

At the front, the reception space has been opened up to form an impressive kitchen, living and dining area. Flooded with natural light from a large bay window, the room is finished in a modern style with a beautiful feature fireplace and a built-in window seat.

A wall between the original reception and bedroom has been removed to create a generous open-plan kitchen, complete with bespoke grey cabinetry, a tiled floor and a classic butler sink. There’s plenty of storage and worktop space for keen cooks and busy households, along with room for a dining table. Whether hosting or enjoying a quiet night in, the layout works effortlessly for both everyday life and entertaining.

Also on this level are two bedrooms. One is currently used as a walk-in wardrobe, though could easily serve as a spacious single bedroom. A stylish modern bathroom completes this floor.

Upstairs, the loft has been converted to provide a further double bedroom with an en suite shower room. There’s excellent storage in the eaves, and full planning permission and building control approval were previously granted for a roof terrace. Though the consent has now lapsed, the precedent is there should the next owners wish to reapply.

Lausanne Road is part of the ever-popular Harringay Ladder, a lively community made up of Victorian terraces and an ever-growing collection of independent cafés, shops and restaurants along nearby Green Lanes.

Transport links are excellent, with Turnpike Lane station for the Piccadilly line and Hornsey station for mainline services both within easy walking distance. North Harringay Primary School, rated Good by Ofsted, is just up the road, and green space is close at hand with Fairland Park and Ducketts Common practically on the doorstep, and Downhills Park, Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace also nearby.
