Harringay Road, London, N15

A quintessential North London family home set on a quiet street close to the bustle of Green Lanes. Built in the late 19th century, it forms part of a traditional Victorian terrace typical of this part of the city. The architecture is straightforward and familiar, with a brick frontage, sash windows and well proportioned rooms. The house unfolds across three floors with mature front and rear gardens and interiors defined by a restrained palette and considered detailing.

The house is entered through a joyful yellow front door that opens into a generous hallway laid with checkerboard tiles. A handy WC is tucked to one side, and there is ample space here for coats and everyday storage. From the hall, the plan leads to the reception room at the front of the house, set within the original bay. Light comes in through tall sash windows fitted with plantation shutters. Built in shelving frames the fireplace and provides a clear focal point, and the palette remains soft and measured.

At the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen and dining room form a single open space. Cabinetry is painted in a muted grey with wooden worktops and simple tiled surfaces. A large skylight brings light over the dining area, where a timber table and classic rushed chairs introduce a clear, tactile note. Doors open directly to the garden which makes the room work well for everyday cooking and for hosting.

The rear garden has a pared back, almost European feel with stone paving and mature planting that includes tall palms. Its direct connection to the kitchen makes it well suited to outdoor dining and for children to play outside with ease.

The first floor holds two bedrooms and a large family bathroom. The main bedroom runs across the width of the house and looks out towards the treetops, which gives the room a tranquil feel. The rear bedroom has a peaceful outlook over the garden and includes open storage that keeps the room feeling ordered and easy to use. The family bathroom is notably spacious with double basins, a walk in rain shower and a deep tub. Finishes are consistent and pared back with good storage.

The top floor has two further bedrooms. The larger room sits at the very top of the house and feels elevated above the surrounding streets, light filled whilst still feeling private and cocooned. Its en suite is another unusually large bathroom with a comfortable walk in shower and simple, consistent finishes. The rear room has previously been used as a studio owing to the natural light that falls from its skylight and the elevated view over the palm canopy in the garden.

The house sits on a quiet, one way street just west of Green Lanes. The area is famed for its many Turkish restaurants and groceries which sit alongside bakeries, cafés and neighbourhood shops. Downhills Park, Chestnuts Park and Finsbury Park are all within easy reach and offer generous stretches of green space. Local favourites include the Dusty Knuckle bakery and Yasar Halim, a long established Turkish grocery known for its wide range of fresh produce. Transport links are strong, with Overground, Underground and regular bus connections offering straightforward routes across North and central London.

Please note that the house does not have an HMO licence and is therefore unsuitable for certain groups of sharers.
