Ashley Road, London, N19 3AF

BRICKWORKS SAYS Set within an Edwardian house with grand proportions, this versatile maisonette strikes that satisfying balance between old and new.

The current owners have updated it thoughtfully, bringing period features back into the spotlight.

Picture rails, fireplaces and engineered timber floors give the rooms a sense of permanence, while contemporary bathrooms take care of modern life. The kitchen is where the day naturally gathers pace.

A generous island makes everything feel effortless from breakfast to dinner, and French doors open onto a low-maintenance garden.

Here, slate paving and tropical planting create a pocket of green that feels a long way from North London.

Back inside, the current configuration creates two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a study. But it could also be arranged as a three-bedroom home with a large dining room.

The neighbourhood itself more than holds its own, with independent cafés, pubs and local shops giving you every excuse to stay close to home.

And Parkland Walk awaits for morning runs, weekend strolls or a scenic cycle.

Crouch Hill station is just a few minutes' walk away, while the Underground is within easy reach at Finsbury Park, for when the rest of London's needed.

THE OWNERS SAY We loved every minute of living here. It was the home where we raised our son from birth, and it will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

What first drew us here was the wonderful sense of space, with its high ceilings, generous rooms and beautiful period character.

Over the years, the eat-in kitchen and tropical garden have been the backdrop to countless family meals, celebrations and summer evening BBQs and cocktails.

We loved the location; being perfectly placed between Crouch End and Stroud Green, with excellent schools, great transport links and a fantastic sense of community on our doorstep.

Leaving is bittersweet as we make our move overseas permanent, but we know this house will offer its next owners the same happiness and memories that it has given us.
