Albany Road, London, N4

BRICKWORKS SAYS

At the top of a tree-lined road, this beautiful Victorian home sits within the last house on the street, which only adds to its feeling of quiet seclusion from the world below.

Inside, light streams into the original staircase through a lightwell above, illuminating the internal spaces. The west-facing living room means evenings are bathed in the golden hour’s glow, while double-glazed sash windows frame stunning skyline views — London’s glass towers rising behind parkland and red brick.

There’s a genuine softness here that can’t be imitated; it only comes with age and careful attention. The principal bedroom features spacious built-in storage, and the kitchen’s under-eaves storage helps keep things uncluttered. The smaller bedroom is a versatile bonus — a nursery, guest room, or creative hideaway. Wherever you look, original features blend with thoughtful updates.

This pocket of North London brims with relaxed charm; enjoy a glass at Bonne Route, a loaf from Dusty Knuckle, or a pint at the Nicholas Nickleby. When you want air, the Parkland Walk takes you all the way to Highgate — or hop on a train from nearby Harringay to reach the city with ease.

THE OWNERS SAY

Over the last five years, we've made this place into a home that we absolutely love. The house itself is on a lovely, quiet road with newly planted trees, and the flat itself gets so much light. We're really going to miss the amazing views we get from our bedroom and living room, being at the top of the hill.

We love how quickly we can get into town from the flat (you can be in Oxford Street in 30 minutes from Harringay). It's also a great location for getting east, either using the buses on Green Lanes or getting to Old Street from Harringay.

I've lived in this area for a huge portion of my life, and it's going to be really difficult to leave this flat and this area. We hope the next owners love it as much as we have.

Getting around:
Harringay Station (Zone 3, National Rail) is just a five-minute walk away, offering Great Northern Rail services to Finsbury Park, Highbury & Islington, Essex Road, Old Street, and Moorgate. Crouch Hill Overground is about a 13-minute walk and is convenient for reaching Hampstead Heath. Finsbury Park Station is slightly further—around 20 minutes on foot—but handy if you happen to miss the train from Harringay! The W3 bus stop is only a three-minute walk away, with regular services to Finsbury Park in one direction and Alexandra Palace in the other.

Onward plans:
The owners have already found their next home.

Anything else:
Being nearly equidistant from Crouch End, Finsbury Park, and Green Lanes offers the best of all worlds: for Turkish food, you are 10 minutes from Green Lanes, which has the finest stretch of restaurants in London; for independent shops and top-notch yoga studios (and more), there’s Crouch End; and for pubs and pizza, head to Finsbury Park, including Yard Sale and Doppio Zero.

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.
