2 bed flat to rent

Scarborough Road, Finsbury Park N4

On approach to this charmer of a two double bedroom home, you’ll spy a gorgeous original stained glass window fitted within a sturdy jet black front door, housed within a wonderful mid terrace Victorian property that has been adorned in a Flemish bonded sand-coloured exterior brick.

After striding up the communal stairway in delight of your new humble abode, you’ll be able to kick off your shoes atop the champagne-coloured carpet that extends across the interior hallway. Auburn red tiles and a dark wood mantle enhance the terrific cast iron original Victorian fireplace in the reception, stealing your travelling gaze and becoming the focal point to the entire room. Two deep enclaves frame this focus, fitted with a dozen floating shelves perfect for displaying your most enviable collections of cacti, lava lamps and signed Banksy prints. Painted in a wonderful sky blue and fitted with floor to ceiling white tiles, the kitchen is of a pleasingly spacious size. Fitted with a sleek black induction hob, stainless steel washbasin and overlooking peaceful neighbouring gardens, this fabulous space offers endless opportunities for concocting marvellous feasts, lazy Sunday brunches and/or a cheeky cocktail (or five). Both double bedrooms are furnished with a double bed, a glossy white dresser and an understated white desk. One beholds a tall translucent double wardrobe and the other a very Instagrammable hanging clothes rail. Relish hour-long soaks in the monochromatic bathroom adjacent, with a fluffy cotton bath sheet gently warming on the wall mounted heated towel rail and lavender scented bubbles filling the deep, full sized bathtub.

If you’re hankering for a touch of the outdoors, step just a few minutes outside and you’ll be warmly welcomed by an entry to local nature reserve (and hidden gem) Parkland Walk, which stretches all 2.5 miles to Muswell Hill, following the course of an old railway line between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace.
