Carriage House, City North Place, Finsbury Park

Occupying an elevated position within the City North development, this one-bedroom apartment pairs clean architectural lines with a sizeable private balcony and far-reaching views across the surrounding skyline. Designed by Benson + Forsyth Architects, the building is defined by its strong, contemporary form and thoughtful integration into the wider neighbourhood.

Inside, the apartment reflects that same clarity of design. A central hallway leads through to the main living space, where full-height glazing draws in natural light and frames expansive views. Sliding doors open onto the balcony - a generous space offering a quiet vantage point above the city.

The kitchen features streamlined cabinetry and integrated appliances forming a simple, well-resolved backdrop. The overall layout is well balanced, allowing each space to function comfortably without feeling overworked.

The bedroom sits to one side, with floor-to-ceiling windows and built-in storage maintaining a sense of openness and order. The bathroom is finished in a pared-back palette, with a full-sized bath and overhead shower, while a separate utility space adds practical storage.

On Your Doorstep:

City North has been carefully conceived as more than just a residential building. Residents have access to a 2000ft landscaped roof garden and at ground level the development forms part of a wider mixed-use hub, with a cinema, Gymbox and an M&S Foodhall integrated into the scheme, alongside a newly created pedestrian square and a direct entrance into Finsbury Park Station.

Positioned between Finsbury Park and Stroud Green, the apartment is surrounded by a growing mix of independent cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, with the green open space of the park just moments away. Transport connections are exceptional, with Victoria and Piccadilly lines, as well as overground lines taking you to Old Street, Soho, Victoria and even as far as Brighton.
