Vale Road, London, N4

Set across the ground floor of a Victorian home, this one-bedroom garden flat combines character features with modern touches, bright spaces and a private garden.

At the front, the reception is filled with natural light from twin sash windows. A feature fireplace brings warmth and charm, creating a welcoming space.

Next door, the bedroom looks out over the garden. Finished in muted tones with soft carpet underfoot and a built-in wardrobe, it’s a calm and comfortable retreat.

Moving through, the kitchen diner forms the heart of the home. Sleek floor-to-ceiling units provide an immense amount of storage for a keen home cook, with simple white doors, wooden worktops and a tiled splashback completing the look. A side-facing sash window sits as the perfect backdrop for dinner table conversation, while the generous proportions mean you’re never too far from your guests when entertaining.

Out back, a raised paved area provides a great space to host summer barbecues or spend time with friends. Bordered by planting, it feels like a little hideaway in the middle of this bustling neighbourhood.

A modern bathroom suite finishes the flat, complete with a bathtub and shower fittings. A clever utility nook has been carved out here too, freeing up more space in the kitchen.

Vale Road is renowned for its welcoming community and rows of charming Victorian terraces.

An ever-expanding mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants can be found along nearby Green Lanes, while excellent transport connections are on hand at Manor House, Finsbury Park (Piccadilly and Victoria lines) and Harringay Overground.

Green spaces such as Finsbury Park and Woodberry Wetlands offer plenty of scope for leisure and outdoor activities. Families will also value the proximity to well-regarded local schools, including North and South Harringay primaries.

With the additional attractions of Stroud Green Road, Crouch End and Highbury all within a mile, this apartment presents a superb opportunity to purchase a stylish and versatile home in one of North London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
