Gillespie Road, London, N5

An architecturally striking three-bedroom maisonette, offered with a share of freehold and extending to over 1,100 sq ft, ideally positioned on Gillespie Road for easy access to Finsbury Park Station, Arsenal and Highbury & Islington.


This is a home that stands out for its architectural design and sense of space. The ground floor is centred around a wide, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, with excellent natural light coming through from above, giving the space a really open and airy feel throughout. The kitchen is social and functional, featuring integrated Miele appliances and flowing easily into the main living space, while a separate utility room provides excellent storage and space for laundry. To the rear, there is also access to a private patio area, offering a low-maintenance outdoor space. This floor also accommodates the third bedroom, currently used as a study, making it ideal for working from home or as a flexible guest room.

Upstairs, there are two further well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite and built-in storage throughout. The property has been thoughtfully set up for modern living, including multi-zoned underfloor heating powered by a brand new air source heat pump, a 210L hot water tank, Cat6a ethernet to every room with Hyperoptic gigabit broadband installed, double glazed windows throughout, and the added benefit of a street-level EV charging point. The property is also offered with a share of freehold, low ongoing maintenance costs and no ground rent.

Overall, it’s a well-considered home that combines strong design with genuine day-to-day practicality, in a location that’s perfectly placed for Arsenal, Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington, offering excellent transport links with direct connections to Cambridge, Peterborough and Brighton, as well as easy access into the City and West End. The property sits within the catchment for a number of well-regarded primary and secondary schools, including Stoke Newington and Highbury Grove Academy, along with several other good and outstanding options locally. The area is also defined by its access to green space, positioned between Finsbury Park, Clissold Park, Highbury Fields and the West Reservoir, with Gillespie Park a nearby hidden gem. Local amenities are excellent, with Fink’s café just moments away, Sobell Leisure Centre and Clissold Park within walking distance, and Upper Street a short bus ride away
