BRICKWORKS SAYS

Off the main drag of buzzy Seven Sisters Road, on a quiet residential street, this handsome first-floor maisonette is deceptively large. The classic Edwardian facade immediately draws you in, while the private front door brings extra convenience and security. And because it's purpose-built, the proportions are not compromised in the way some conversions can be –– the layout is functional with a lovely open flow.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we endeavour to maintain accurate photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person. We often round up/down total floorplan measurements, and distances are also provided as approximates.

THE OWNERS SAY

We will miss this home so much! We will miss the sunrise and sunset when the living room has an orange glow. We will miss our lunchtime strolls around Paignton Park and our breakfasts on the terrace. We will miss the study, with its view over Manchester Gardens - the perfect haven for a productive day of work.

We couldn’t have asked for more by way of location: Manor House and Seven Sisters stations are a short walk away. We have always felt close to nature, with Finsbury and Clissold Parks and the two beautiful reservoirs on our doorstep. We have been spoiled on the food front too; Milk (over the road in the warehouse district) does the best coffee, a new Brazilian bakery on Seven Sisters Road offers fresh cake and bread every morning, and we have made the most of the amazing Turkish restaurants on Green Lanes. Gurbet deserves a mention too: two minutes away, open 24/7, with a freshly baked goods section.

Finally, we will miss the amazing community spirit: many people on the street have lived here for years. Everyone looks out for each other, and there’s communal gardening and even a Heysham Road herb patch. Our co-freeholder and good friend lives at number 8, which is the downstairs flat. These neighbours and those to our left and right have been incredibly kind to us and helpful on many occasions over the years.

The storage space includes drawers built into what was previously inaccessible eaves and a bespoke pull-out section for hanging clothes.

Getting around:
If you want a spot that’s incredibly well-connected for getting around London, then this is it!

Future plans:
The owners are moving out of London and are selling chain-free.

Anything else:
