Tabley Road, London N7

“A large bay window elevates the home’s airy proportions and frames views of the tree-lined street”

This bright three-bedroom apartment sits on the upper floors of a converted Victorian house in Tufnell Park, north London. Extending to some 1,188 sq ft, the home combines generous proportions and 19th-century architectural details with a considered contemporary palette. Arranged across four levels, it has been wonderfully renovated by the current owners and comprises an open-plan layout, with three adjoining bedrooms and a sequence of spacious private outdoor spaces.

The Tour

Set on a handsome terrace of Victorian townhouses, this house occupies a quiet residential pocket close to Holloway Road. It has a distinctive stock brick façade, punctuated by canted bay windows, stucco detailing, and a crimson-red front door.

Entry is at raised-ground level through a communal entrance, with stairs leading to the apartment on the first floor.

The living room lies at the front of the plan, where two large windows frame views of the tree-lined street, and excellent natural light enhances the room’s airy proportions. The walls are painted a navy blue on two sides, contrasting with the otherwise restrained colour scheme. There is a log burner, and enough space for a large dining table.

Adjacent, the kitchen has fluted hardwood cabinets with stone countertops and teal-coloured rubber flooring underfoot, lending the space an original, modernist character. Integrated appliances include a Smeg range cooker.

At the rear are a study and a bathroom with a shower over the bath and azure-blue tiles.

Two bedrooms occupy the second floor. The principal sits at the front, flooded with light entering through two large sash windows, and internal shutters add a thoughtful detail. There is ample storage, and an en suite bathroom has a walk-in shower enclosed in large-format tiles.

From the landing, a short flight of stairs leads to a decked terrace, with peaceful outlooks over mature greenery and towards the city skyline. A large attic provides additional storage.

The third bedroom sits on the raised-ground floor, opening directly onto a balcony with steps down to the private garden.

Outdoor Space

Enclosed by a brick boundary wall and timber fencing, the garden has ample room for outdoor seating and a potted planting scheme. A terrace is accessed from the second floor, incredibly secluded and inviting views over neighbouring treetops.
