Snugly situated in Whitehall Park conservation area, between Crouch End and Highgate, is this hidden gem of a four bedroom terraced house with garden. Artfully restored to its Victorian splendour, it doesn’t skimp on comfort, convenience and joy.
Close to Archway station, the house is also within easy reach of shops, cafes and restaurants along Crouch End Broadway. Waterlow Park and the Parkland Walk are nearby, too. And the neighbourhood itself is one of north London’s best-kept secrets: quiet and friendly, yet so close to everything that makes this area such a lovely place to call home.

BRICKWORKS SAYS
There’s something refreshing about a restoration that preserves all the beauty of the past whilst introducing a distinctly cheerful flavour. This home achieves exactly that, with an abundance of style (and a little joie de vivre). All the period staples are here: intricate ceiling coving and roses, sash windows, centrepiece mantels and a sweeping staircase. They form a pretty stage on which daily life unfolds, whether in the colourful shaker kitchen, the formal dining room or the bright reception room.
You can sense the time and care the current owners have invested in this space. Their affection is palpable, and it extends to every nook. Take the terraced garden with its discrete spaces, allowing everyone to have a corner of calm. Clever, practical storage that sits harmoniously alongside Victorian flourishes. Warm, bespoke kitchen cabinetry that keeps the space grounded and homely. It’s a frankly masterful melding of old and new. The kind of thing that takes years to get just right.
POINTS TO CONSIDER
The EPC gives a current Energy Efficiency Rating: D & Environmental Impact Rating: E
In the Borough of Islington, the house falls into Council Tax Band F (£2,151 for 2019/2020).
The current owners have done extensive remodelling over the past 13 years, including replacing all the electrics and plumbing, installing a new boiler and radiators, replacing the roof and installing Velux windows. The original kitchen was removed and replaced with a new, bespoke construction.
THE OWNERS SAY
We moved to Whitehall Park in 2000 and love the area. It’s extremely well connected, with Archway tube just around the corner, but above all the melee and pollution.
It’s a short walk from Highgate Village and Waterlow Park, which is ideal for summer picnics. Crouch End – with its bars, restaurants and independent shops – is nearby, too. The street is really friendly, and we’ve made many good friends we’ll be sad to move away from.
We felt lucky to find this house. Restoring it was a labour of love, but it was worth it, as it has looked after us so well!
THE LEGAL BIT

1 The Spoke
One of the very first of the new wave of cafes to open, that hints at the area around Upper Holloways rapid evolution, the Spoke serves up top-notch food and coffee in a familiar format, but they do it bloody well. For us, it's hard to choose from a tasty veggie fry-up, delicious (millennial) chilli avocado and onion on toast or one of their fish finger sandwiches...
2 Brave Sir Robin
Get down to this independent alehouse and join the throng of happy craft beer drinkers, sampling an ever-changing range on tap. But it’s not all beer beer beer - the Yard Sale Pizza and easy-going vibe will keep you coming back more than you should!
3 Max's Sandwich Shop
An old client put us on to Max's a while ago now, and it's been a mixed blessing as their sandwiches are so freaking good, they become quite addictive. Proper meals in themselves and cheap (around £7 a hit), it's easy to find yourself getting Deliveroo to pick one up for lunch, or a quick afternoon snack or even as a second breakfast... Any excuse, basically! Oh, and the wine is delicious and inexpensive, so dropping by in person is also worth the effort.
4 Landseer Arms
Tucked away behind Holloway Road, this is a gem of a pub is found at the end of a quiet residential street of the same name. Totally family friendly, the owners have managed to create a genuine community feel which is rare these days. Parents will appreciate the paved outside seating area, which is right opposite a small park – the kids can play in the playground while you have a glass of something cold. Nice!
5 Lost Boys Pizza
A restaurant and cocktail bar and event space themed off the 80s cult favourite ‘The Lost Boys’, featuring jet black, charcoal pizza dough and free film screenings in The Crypt.
