Upper Tollington Park, Stroud Green

Arched sash windows, original Victorian fireplaces and heaps of cleverly inbuilt storage – this delightful two double bedroom home is absolutely bursting with charm. Plus its only 0.6 miles from Finsbury Park Station. Bonus.

Streams of natural light twinkle through an original stained-glass window in the hallway adorned in majestic hues of royal blue and crimson red. Two tall arched sash windows illuminate the sky blue painted reception room, carpeted in ivory white. Waiting to be discovered in this enchanting space is an original cast-iron fireplace framed by chunky wooden floating shelves, ideal for displaying vinyl records, framed art prints, analog cameras and the like. You’ll also spy charming slanted ceilings providing the perfect canvas for creating a truly hygge living space filled with cosy cushions, woolen textiles and much-loved scented candles. Adjacent, you’ll encounter the subway-tiled kitchen fitted with heaps of cleverly conceived storage options and functional design, the wall-mounted stainless steel cookware rack, inbuilt shelving, slim-line dishwasher, and miniature heated towel rail are to name just a few. In the bathroom across the hallway, you’ll find a navy blue-tiled bathtub enclosure, pendant-shaped rainforest showerhead and shallow slatted wooden shelving. Both double bedrooms are thankfully of equally pleasing sizes, relinquishing any possibility of quarrels with flatmates over the larger room. Both also feature clever dashes of inbuilt storage behind little wooden doors, further cosy slanted ceilings and enchanting décor.

Located on Upper Tollington Park, you’ll never run out of enthralling places to eat, drink and be merry. The transport links are rather excellent too with both Finsbury Park Station and Crouch Hill Station a mere 0.6mile stroll away.
