1 bed flat for sale

Yonge Park, Islington, London N4

Beautifully maintained and renovated, this one-bedroom flat in Finsbury Park has lofty proportions, inspiring spaces, and a garden any Londoner would be proud to call their own.

Brickworks Says

Along a wide street lined with trees and Victorian villas, this flat pairs a modern aesthetic with timeless architectural features. The spacious interiors benefit from high ceilings and are filled with natural light, thanks to the stunning sash windows. At the front, an expansive bay window serves as a focal point, while elegant wood shutters offer privacy without sacrificing light.

The towering ceilings create a sense of space that belies the footprint, while period touches accent the property –– the rather magnificent fireplace and the elegant cornicing overhead –– mark it out as something special. Contemporary updates, such as the natural-stone bathroom, feel right at home, and the recently renovated kitchen in striking walnut is a grown-up space made for cooking and entertaining. Another huge window in natural wood frames the view, and outside, the impressively sized garden holds infinite possibilities, whether that be cultivating, exercising, or simply unwinding.

Just minutes from the calm of Yonge Park, Finsbury Park buzzes with life. Aside from the aaa transport connections, you can get your fix of green space in Finsbury Park, stop for a bite to eat at stalwart pub The Plimsoll, and fill up on proper Tacos at the Nags Head Market. There’s no end of tasty venues locally, but be warned, with bakeries like Big Jo and The French Market in the vicinity, you’re in danger of developing a dangerous pastry-habit.

The Owners Say

I was recently awarded a Nobel Prize in Staring Out of the Window for the incredible work i've done since moving into this flat. It's a genuinely life-changing window.

In addition to being vast, even by Victorian standards, the view is just so idyllic: Foxes, squirrels, cats, sparrows, parakeets, and all the trees changing with the seasons. And when friends come over they cannot believe it can be this quiet and still be a hundred metres from the Seven Sisters Road. I've written two books at this desk – if not for the window it would have been three.

The Legal Bit

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. 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. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
