THE OWNER SAYS

We’ve loved making a home at Mannock Road. The garden is a sunny sanctuary – south facing and backing onto an allotment – and is incredibly peaceful, you wouldn’t know you were five-minutes from the tube station. We spend every sunny day out here with a cup of tea or a glass of wine, and it’s been a real joy to see the seasons change and wildlife come and go. If we could take it all with us, we would!

Inside, we love the period features mixed with the warm wooden floors, whilst the sunlight streams into the kitchen and the office, which has been wonderful to enjoy when working from home. The high ceilings and large storage space in the peaceful front bedroom is a godsend for anyone with a large wardrobe.

We also have real affection for our local neighbourhood. We’ve spent many evenings with friends at the Westbury, a warm and welcoming local that’s not even a five-minute walk away. Whilst the green expanses of Ally Pally and the village bustle of Crouch End are less than 30 mins on foot and where we spend most of our weekends.. If you love green spaces, great coffee or some local craft beer, then you will not be short of options in this neck of the North London woods!

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Occupying the ground floor of a converted Victorian terrace is this bright two-bedroom flat, moments from Turnpike Lane’s best-loved green spaces, and with its own south-facing private garden.

At the front of the property is a generous bedroom complete with en-suite shower room. Next door is another good sized bedroom with ample built-in storage, leaving the rear section of the flat as an open-plan living–dining–kitchen space flooded with natural light thanks to a rare, rear garden-facing bay window.

The clean lines and neutral decor – classic wooden flooring, plantation shutters, crisp white bathroom tiling and matching fitted kitchen – reflect a series of understated qualities that combine to make this a striking home.

This corner of north London is defined by its traditional Victorian terraced streets and vibrant high streets but there is no shortage of green spaces to serve as an antidote to city living. Close by is Downhills Park and mere moments away is Belmont Recreation Ground, while local underground and rail stations make commuting a breeze.
