House 5, Charles Mews, Station Road, London, N22

Tucked behind gates in the heart of Alexandra Palace, Charles Mews is a quietly striking, design-led development defined by flowing rooflines, wildflower meadow roofs and a refined architectural language that sits beautifully within its green surroundings.

House Five offers around 1,300 sq ft of internal space and is a superb example of how thoughtful design can elevate every part of a home. While slightly more compact than some of the other houses within the scheme, it loses none of the architectural quality or sense of occasion. The main living space is bright, open and inviting, designed to feel fluid and sociable, with enough room for both formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living. Natural light has been used to excellent effect, helping the space feel airy, calm and connected.

The three-bedroom layout is efficient, well balanced and highly practical, creating distinct living and sleeping zones while preserving a strong sense of flow throughout the house. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom. There is a clear emphasis on liveability here, but also on aesthetic discipline, with each room feeling resolved, uncluttered and intentional.

The interior finish is a major feature of the house. The kitchen is elegant and contemporary, with arabescato marble surfaces, integrated appliances, induction hobs, wine storage and seamless cabinetry, while the bathrooms carry a similarly luxurious feel, with marble sinks, subtle texture, integrated storage and refined fittings. Skylights, carefully positioned glazing and bespoke joinery all contribute to the feeling that this is a home designed by people who understand both architecture and how people actually live. The specification is completed by efficient and future-facing systems including an air source heat pump and MVHR ventilation.
Alexandra Palace remains one of North London’s most appealing settings, offering a balance of greenery, connectivity and lifestyle.

Charles Mews is well placed for Alexandra Palace station, with swift access into central London, while the open spaces of Alexandra Park, the village atmosphere of Muswell Hill and the broader amenities of Highgate, Hampstead Heath, Islington and King’s Cross are all within easy reach.
