Princess May Road, London N16

Step into the timeless elegance of this exquisite ground floor, one-bedroom period residence—a purpose-built gem that boasts its very own private entrance, offering both charm and convenience in equal measure. From the moment you enter, the home welcomes you with a beautifully proportioned reception room, graced by a striking square bay window that floods the space with natural light. Original wooden floorboards run underfoot, adding warmth and character, while alcove shelving and soaring high ceilings evoke a sense of grandeur. A coloured feature wall adds a contemporary flourish to this classic setting.

The bedroom continues the theme of understated sophistication, with the same rich wooden flooring and a traditional sash window that frames tranquil views of the garden—an idyllic retreat for morning reflections or evening repose. The kitchen is a masterclass in modern design, featuring an integrated oven and gas hob beneath a sleek stainless steel extractor hood. A crisp white tiled splashback complements the stylish matt grey cabinetry, which offers a harmonious blend of high and low units for optimal storage and aesthetic appeal.

The bathroom is nothing short of delightful—a sanctuary of indulgence and refinement. Twin sinks sit atop an expansive wooden vanity unit, while a soft blue horizontal tiled splashback lends a serene coastal charm. The walk-in shower is a true pièce de résistance, with a luxurious marble floor, striking criss-cross white tiles set against a dramatic black backdrop, and gleaming chrome pipework. Thoughtfully designed embedded shelving and a built-in shower seat elevate the experience to spa-like levels of comfort. A bold black heated towel rail completes the ensemble, marrying function with flair.

This home is a rare blend of period beauty and modern sophistication, crafted for those who appreciate the finer details.
