Hampden Road, London, N8

Set over the ground floor of this handsome Victorian building, this two-bedroom garden flat is filled with light, charm, and a lovely sun-trap garden to finish it all off.

Entering through your own front door, a welcoming reception hall guides you to all of the living spaces.

To the front, a bright and inviting reception room can be found. With large sash windows adorned with plantation shutters streaming in light, the room is finished with a stylish colour scheme, a period fireplace and engineered wooden flooring.

Adjacent to this is the first of the two bedrooms. A comfortable double, this room benefits from built-in cabinetry and a lovely French door that leads down the side return into the garden. The second of the two bedrooms is found at the back of the property — also an easy double — perfect for a home office, nursery or second bedroom.

The kitchen is located centrally, offering new meaning to the heart of the home. Its white cabinetry and clean lines make for an easy-on-the-eye space, fully practical with plenty of storage and work surface space. The garden is also accessed via the kitchen.

Out back, a walkway leads you down to your private garden. A real sun trap, this low-maintenance space is perfect for summer BBQs.

Finishing the flat is a modern bathroom suite, kitted out with a contemporary tile scheme and a bathtub with shower fittings.

Not far from the flat, the neighbourhood offers an array of independent shops, cafés and restaurants along the vibrant stretch of Green Lanes. Noteworthy mentions include The Dusty Knuckle bakery and café, and Jam In A Jar, offering a delightful blend of brunch and live music. The iconic Grade II listed Salisbury pub and Harringay Local Store further add to the area’s dynamic character.

Transport links are excellent, with Turnpike Lane Station (Piccadilly Line) just a 5-minute walk away. Hornsey Train Station and Harringay Green Lanes Overground are also nearby, providing easy links to Finsbury Park, King’s Cross, Old Street and Moorgate.

Proximity to both North and South Harringay Schools enhances the appeal for families, with the neighbourhood also offering various kids’ activities and community groups.
