Windsor Road, London

The Home -

Occupying the upper floors of a Neo Georgian building, this split level two-bedroom conversion extends across almost 1,000 sqft, with two private terraces and an abundance of natural light throughout. The apartment has been updated with original timber floorboards restored, the entire interior repainted and decorated, new carpeting added along the hallway and staircase, and updated practical details including a new washing machine, extractor fans and smoke alarms.

Windsor Road sits within easy reach of the delights of Highgate Village, Holloway, Tufnell Park, Archway and Islington, with nearby Underground and Overground services connecting citywide.

The Indoors -

Entry is on the first floor, where a central staircase rises through the middle of the plan. The two bedrooms are arranged across this level, set apart from the living spaces above. The main bedroom sits to the front, with high ceilings, tall sash windows and parquet flooring underfoot. The second bedroom is positioned quietly to the rear and continues the same restrained palette and parquet flooring found throughout this level. An adjoining space currently works well as a study or dressing area, adding flexibility to the layout and giving access to the second private terrace. Between the bedrooms sits a neatly finished shower room, lined in white metro tiles with black tiled flooring and chrome fittings.

Upstairs, the plan opens into a full width reception room stretching across the front of the building. Two large sash windows draw in excellent natural light, while restored timber floorboards and soft neutral tones give the room a relaxed feel. There is ample space for separate seating and reading areas, with double doors connecting through to the kitchen and dining space at the rear. The kitchen has been designed with practicality in mind, fitted with grey cabinetry, proper oak worktops, integrated appliances and a Belfast sink positioned beneath the window overlooking the terrace. A glazed door opens directly outside, making the terrace feel like a natural extension of the room during warmer months.

A final staircase leads to the top floor, where a loft room and separate WC provide useful additional space, ideal for working from home, storage or occasional guest use.

The Outdoors -

To the rear of the apartment, the two private terraces have a notably peaceful outlook across mature trees and neighbouring gardens. Timber decking provides space for outdoor seating, planting and dining, while the elevated position gives the terrace a sense of privacy and separation from the street below.
