“This exceptionally designed, four-bedroom house has been comprehensively renovated to create a generous Victorian home, where the original proportions are paired with a more contemporary approach to space, light and material.”

Situated on a popular, tree-lined road, the recently repointed red-brick facade of the home has been punctuated with bold black-painted stonework. Inside, the ground floor has been opened up to form a long sequence of interconnected living spaces. At the front, the reception room sits within the original bay, with its high ceilings and generous proportions giving the room a distinct sense of character. From here, the plan continues through a more informal dining area before opening into the kitchen at the rear, creating an uninterrupted view through much of the house.

The kitchen has been conceived as the social heart of the ground floor. A substantial run of cabinetry provides plenty of storage, while an extended worktop forms a breakfast bar for more informal dining. Large glazed doors open the rear elevation directly onto the garden, drawing natural light into the deeper parts of the plan and creating an easy connection between inside and out.

Outside, the garden provides a private extension of the living space, with room for both dining and planting. Its direct relationship with the kitchen makes it particularly well suited to everyday family life and entertaining during the warmer months. A guest WC and utility area are also tucked discreetly into the ground-floor plan.

Three bedrooms occupy the first floor, including a particularly generous room at the front of the house where the original bay window brings additional width and natural light. The remaining bedrooms are well proportioned and are served by the family bathroom.

The uppermost floor has been given over entirely to the principal suite. Arriving beneath a large rooflight, a glazed balustrade allows daylight to fall through the stairwell and gives the transition between floors a noticeably lighter quality. The bedroom itself has windows on two sides and extensive built-in storage, while the adjoining bathroom is arranged with a walk-in shower, twin basins and a large picture window.

Floorplan

Falkland Road is perfectly positioned on the Harringay Ladder, one of north London’s most cherished residential enclaves. Centred around Green Lanes, the neighbourhood is celebrated for its thriving independent food scene, excellent Turkish restaurants and strong sense of community, while also benefiting from a number of highly regarded local schools.

Just a short stroll from the house, Dusty Knuckle is a local favourite for sourdough, pastries and expertly brewed coffee, while Music & Beans offers a welcoming spot for a morning flat white. Green Lanes’ renowned restaurant scene is led by long-standing favourites such as Gökyüzü, Diyarbakir Kitchen and TANDIR. For everyday provisions, Mum’s Wholefoodis a much-loved neighbourhood institution, stocked with organic produce, artisan groceries and freshly baked goods. Nearby, the independent brewery and taproom The Tottenham Beer’s Beer Company and the lively food and events venue Alexandra Palace offer popular destinations for evenings and weekends.

Green space is plentiful. The Green Flag-awarded Finsbury Park is within easy reach and provides tennis courts, an athletics track, boating lake and expansive open lawns. The wooded walks and panoramic city views of Parkland Walk, London’s longest local nature reserve, are also nearby, connecting Finsbury Park with Highgate.

Families are particularly well served, with South Harringay School positioned on the corner of Mattison Road and a number of other well-regarded state and independent schools in the surrounding area.

Transport connections are excellent. Harringay Green Lanes railway station is around a 15-minute walk away, providing Overground services across north and east London. Turnpike Lane station can be reached in just over five minutes on foot and offers direct Piccadilly line services to the West End, King’s Cross and Heathrow Airport, while numerous bus routes connect the area with Finsbury Park, the City and beyond.
