Oakley Gardens, Crouch End, London, N8

A smart, split-level one-bedroom flat on the top floor of a handsome Edwardian house, a stone’s throw from bustling Crouch End Broadway, and the beautifully imposing Alexandra Palace.

Brickworks Says - Entering the flat, a smart, carpeted staircase leads to a split-level landing that connects to the double bedroom. Decorated in rich, inky blues, it beautifully complements the original period detailing, creating an atmospheric retreat to relax and unwind. The adjacent modern shower room is stylish and practical and cleverly designed to maximise every inch of space.

Moving up another short flight of stairs past a curated gallery wall, you step into a bright and convivial living space with a sleek kitchen and dining area working perfectly in tandem with a comfortable seating area. The current owner has respected the bones of the building by sensitively updating the wooden sash windows. Combined with two large Velux, this meticulously organised room––much like the entire flat––is light, airy, warm, and quiet all year round.

Oakley Gardens is a great spot. Part of a collection of streets that form a cul-de-sac, it is incredibly quiet, with virtually no passing traffic. Yet, you are moments on foot from Crouch End, a neighbourhood whose enduring appeal continues to grow. You are also within the orbit of Middle Lane and Harringay Green Lanes, which are now firmly destinations in their own right. Oh, and you also have the bonus of being moments from Horney Station, which provides fast, direct links to central London.

The Owners Say - The minute I viewed this property, I fell in love with its high-spec and period features. It is really beautifully formed and ideal for working professionals.

I love to entertain and the open-plan kitchen and living room is such a social space. With stunning views out
of the windows, it's so light and airy, with split level and plenty of storage in the eaves, it really has been the perfect property for me.

I've been so happy living here I'll be very sad to leave - I'm hoping not to move too far away!

Getting around:
Part of Crouch End's appeal is the village-within-a-city feel. Does some of that come from the fact there is no tube station? Maybe. But that absence is negated here by its close proximity to Hornsey Station, which has direct connections to Moorgate via Finsbury Park, Highbury & Islington and Old Street. There are also various bus routes running nearby. Plus, the Parkland Walk opens up a green corridor from Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace through Stroud Green, Crouch End, Highgate and Muswell Hill.

Onward plans:
The owner has been very happy here but is now looking for something larger with her partner. They need to find and are actively looking.

The Legal Bit - While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide.

Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others.
