Studio House, Woodland Gardens, Muswell Hill, London, N10

Set near the edges of Queen's Wood and Highgate Wood, the three-bedroom Studio House was met with critical acclaim when it was completed in 1975. Constructed from red brick, the trio of houses in the scheme all share the same sculptural language demonstrated by the pitched roof and timber-framed glazing found in each. Levy's design rotated each house by nine degrees from its neighbour, creating a subtly staggered rhythm along the street as well as an enhanced sense of privacy.

A landscaped pathway leads to the front door, opening into a voluminous, light-filled living space. Two full-height picture windows and twin skylights flood the interior with natural light, while the signature circular staircase, crafted from steel with a bent-wood handrail, forms a striking focal point.

On the ground floor, a contemporary kitchen features stainless steel worktops and integrated appliances. Engineered oak flooring leading to a raised area that serves equally well as a dining space or additional seating. Wall-to-wall bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.

Tucked behind the living room is a discreet study nook, neatly concealed by a partition wall. A guest W/C and practical storage for shoes and bags are positioned at the front of the plan.

Upstairs, the staircase opens onto a mezzanine level that offers a striking perspective of Levy's considered layout. A generous bedroom and a family bathroom are also found on this floor. The top level is dedicated to the main bedroom, a second bathroom, and a further bedroom, which could alternatively be used as a study or walk-in wardrobe. Positioned in the quietest part of the house, this upper level is illuminated by pitched skylights with far-reaching views towards Alexandra Palace.

The mature garden includes a paved area ideal for outdoor dining, with evergreen grasses and a striking Torbay palm tree. Two flexible outbuildings offer further space: the converted garage currently functions as a private office, while a timber shed set deep within the garden provides a peaceful retreat.

Tucked into the leafy hills of North London, Woodland Garden sits right next to Highgate, Muswell Hill and Crouch End - independent neighbourhoods where village charm meets a quietly confident, creative spirit.

Brunch culture is alive and well here. Locals gather at BEAM, a modern favourite known for its fresh interiors and vibrant, Eastern Mediterranean-inspired plates. For those with a wellness mindset, Planet Organic, just across the way, serves as a hub for natural groceries and quick lunches. La Luna brings a warm, Spanish energy to Muswell Hill Broadway, serving up authentic tapas and sangria in a relaxed, sociable setting. A few steps away, Toff's of Muswell Hill continues to uphold its title as one of London's best fish and chip shops, an award-winning institution serving perfectly crisped cod in a timeless setting.

Just beyond the high street, Alexandra Palace rises from the greenery like a Victorian mirage. Known affectionately as Ally Pally, it plays host to everything from antique fairs and open-air concerts to ice skating and the much-loved Sunday farmers' market. But perhaps its greatest feature is the view - a sweeping, uninterrupted panorama of the London skyline.

Venture slightly south and you'll find Crouch End Broadway, where the pace becomes a touch more bohemian. Sourdough Sophia draws in early risers with naturally leavened breads and cinnamon rolls that routinely sell out before noon. For an elegant dinner, Bistro Aix offers candlelight and French classics with unpretentious charm, while The Blue Legume delivers colourful, Mediterranean-style brunches in a light-filled space perfect for weekend grazing. Evenings often end at Humble Grape, a relaxed wine bar with a serious cellar and a low-key atmosphere that suits the area's rhythm.

To the east, Highgate provides both historical gravitas and functional connection. While its leafy lanes and Georgian architecture offer a deep sense of calm, Highgate Underground Station (Northern Line) connects you swiftly to the heart of the city.

Everyman Muswell Hill and Crouch End Picturehouse are beloved local cinemas offering a cosy, boutique movie experience with carefully curated films, including new releases, independent titles, and regular screenings of classic and older films.

Green space is a defining feature of life in Muswell Hill, Crouch End, and Highgate - each offering its own kind of natural escape. In Muswell Hill, Alexandra Palace Park provides rolling hills, boating lakes, and some of the city's most expansive skyline views, while nearby Highgate Wood offers ancient woodland trails perfect for a slower pace. Crouch End locals enjoy the leafy calm of Priory Park, or the elevated greenery of the Parkland Walk - a former railway line turned nature corridor that links the three neighbourhoods. Just beyond Highgate Village, Hampstead Heath opens up in all its wild and windswept glory.

For those drawn to sport and fitness, Crouch End also offers a heated, year-round lido, well-kept tennis courts, and longstanding cricket clubs.
