Adolphus Road Finsbury Park, London N4

BRICKWORKS SAYS

It’s little wonder that on a street lined with grand Victorian villas, this ground-floor flat enjoys such generous proportions. Step through your own front door and the sense of space is immediate: soaring ceilings crown the living room, while a sweeping bay window draws in light and frames the outside world. The adjoining galley kitchen makes an impression of its own, with double-height cupboards in sleek sea-green that can easily house a chef’s collection of tools and treasures.

The current owners have been meticulous in their approach, enhancing every detail. Double-glazed sash windows with shutters create cosy corners; deep shades of blue give the flat a calm, cohesive feel, echoed in the beautiful glazed bathroom tiles. Brass fittings in both kitchen and bathroom add a touch of understated glamour. Yet the true highlight lies beyond the back door: a striking black-decked garden, set beneath the canopy of a mature tree. Here there’s space to dine, relax, or simply linger — complemented by a high-spec garden studio, perfect for work, retreat, or quiet escape.

Adolphus Road is brilliantly located, with all the essentials of this much-loved corner of London within easy reach. Fink’s Salt & Sweet is a neighbourhood staple for coffee and cake, while Top Cuvée serves natural wines that are dangerously delicious. For open skies and fresh air, Finsbury Park and Clissold Park are close by, and Woodberry Wetlands offers wilder terrain — including the chance for a swim in the reservoir.

The Owners Say

This will always hold a special place in our hearts. It was our first home together and, more recently, as new parents. We have absolutely loved living here for the past seven years and have enjoyed making it our own.

The garden is a beautiful sun trap, perfect for morning coffees, afternoon barbecues, and alfresco dinners. The recent addition of the garden studio provides a unique space to focus and relax in a serene setting.

Saying goodbye will be difficult, but we know this flat has so much to offer its next owners. We hope it will bring as many happy memories to them as it has to us.

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.
