1 bed flat for sale

Birkbeck Road, London N17

Set on the top floor of an attractive Victorian terrace, the flat combines period character-high ceilings, sash windows and feature fireplaces-with the peace and natural light that comes from being on the top floor.

Inside, a bright reception room spans the width of the property, with two double-glazed sash windows flooding the space with natural light. A period fireplace forms the focal point of the room, with built-in storage neatly set into one alcove.

To the rear is a generously sized double bedroom overlooking neighbouring gardens, while the kitchen/diner offers ample space for dining alongside fitted cabinets running along one wall. The property is completed by a modern bathroom.

Birkbeck Road is a popular residential street close to Bruce Grove, known for its attractive period homes and strong sense of community. Bruce Castle Park is nearby, offering open green space, tennis courts and the historic Bruce Castle itself.

Transport links are excellent, with Bruce Grove Overground Station just a 10-minute walk away, providing services to Liverpool Street in under 40 minutes. Seven Sisters Underground and Tottenham Hale stations are also within easy reach, offering swift connections to the City, the West End and Stansted Airport.

The area continues to grow in popularity thanks to its increasing choice of independent cafés, pubs and local shops. Highlights include the famous Antwerp Arms, the recently renovated Elmhurst, and the growing selection of businesses along the High Road and surrounding streets.

This is a flat that quietly does everything right-period charm, top-floor privacy and a location with genuine substance behind it. Early viewing is highly recommended.

Sellers Thoughts: I loved living in this charming and spacious flat for over 15 years. When I viewed the property all those years ago, as soon as I entered the door I knew it felt like home. It may sound cheesy, but it's a real feeling - my former tenant said the same thing.
This flat lets in a lot of light, and being situated on the top floor there are no footsteps overhead, no shared corridors above you - just your own peaceful nest at the top of the house. It's a sanctuary.
There is a loft with a drop-down ladder and plenty of storage space if needed.
The road is quiet and tree-lined, and I love that the neighbours are long-standing residents and have been beyond helpful to me, and latterly my tenants.
The wonderful Bruce Castle Park became my "back garden, " as it is a 2-minute walk from the flat. Lordship Rec is also close by.
You will of course be spoiled for choice with restaurants within walking distance on the High Road, and a choice of buses to Alexandra Palace, Wood Green, and Crouch End.
It is my wish that this lovely apartment will serve the next buyer as lovingly as it did me.
