1, 1, Furlong Road, London, N7 8LA

High ceilings, Highbury Fields, High on the wish list. Set within a handsome period building, this two bedroom home has the sort of character that’s increasingly hard to find.

High ceilings and original details give the rooms a real sense of volume, while generous natural light keeps everything feeling bright and open.

There’s an individuality to the flat that feels considered rather than overly polished, with a layout that works equally well for quiet nights in, working from home or having friends over.

The private outdoor space comes into its own through the summer, with enough space for a table, planting and a proper BBQ setup.

Inside, the two bedrooms are well proportioned and the living spaces feel calm and comfortable.

Downstairs, a large private cellar adds a genuinely useful amount of storage, with room for bikes, appliances and everything you’d rather keep out of sight.

The building itself is well cared for, with a friendly and engaged group of owners sharing the freehold.

Furlong Road is one of those quietly tucked away streets that puts you right in the middle of North London life without feeling like it.

Highbury Fields is moments away, while the cafés, restaurants, pubs and independent spots around Highbury, Upper Street and Islington are all within easy reach.

Highbury & Islington station makes getting across London simple, but back at home there’s a strong neighbourhood feel, with a close knit community and a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere for such a well connected location.
