Philip Lane, London, N15

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Set on the first floor of a handsome end-of-terrace Victorian villa, this two-bedroom flat has a wonderful sense of proportion. The south-facing living space is the star: a broad bay window––complete with built-in seat––anchors the room and invites you to pause, while the wide opening to the kitchen creates connection without compromising definition.

The bedrooms sit quietly at the back. The main is a comfortable double, while the second—currently a nursery—works just as well as a study or guest room. A fresh, modern bathroom adds spa-like notes with its soaking tub and overhead rain shower. Throughout, clean lines, spotlighting, and uncluttered walls create a calm, contemporary backdrop that’s easy to make your own.

From this spot, Downhills Park is right on your doorstep, with tennis courts, a café and green stretches to roam. You’ve got a growing crop of local hangouts nearby, plus thanks to the proximity to Seven Sisters and Turnpike Lane, easy access across London—and beyond—when the wider world calls.

THE OWNERS SAY

This was our first home and the place we chose to start our family, so it will always be special to us. It kept us sane through lockdown and has been the perfect space for us as a family, as our daughter has found her feet in the world.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
