Green Lanes, London, N8

Set over the ground and first floors of the rear half of a handsome Victorian house, this beautifully finished split level conversion sits quietly to the rear of the building. Set back from the road by a large driveway the flat benefits from its own parking space for multiple cars.

The home has a private entrance and a wonderfully light interior, with windows on both sides and an architectural open staircase creates an airy, open feel.

The ground floor is laid with refurbished floorboards, adding warmth and character to the bright open-plan kitchen and reception. The kitchen is particularly stylish, fitted with a selection of cupboards, open glass shelving, integrated appliances and a built-in breakfast bar. The living space has a triple aspect of light, including an outlook over trees into the distance that presents a welcome change from the tall cityscape.

The quiet garden is a real suntrap, with plenty of room for summer barbecues, and at the far end a purpose-built office provides an ideal additional workspace.

Upstairs, the large double bedroom has been cleverly designed with a built-in king size bed that has storage underneath and surrounding, a large sash window flooding the room with light and there is a smart en suite bathroom.

Found at the very heart of Harringay, the home is perfectly placed for the thriving mix of independent shops, cafés, bars and restaurants along Green Lanes. Excellent transport links are close at hand, with Manor House and Turnpike Lane Underground stations (Piccadilly Line, Zone 2/3), Harringay and Hornsey rail stations (for fast services to King’s Cross and Moorgate in under 20 minutes), and London Overground from Harringay Green Lanes. The property is also surrounded by an abundance of green spaces, including Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace.
