## Description

**** **** A truly beautiful and characterful four-bedroom split-level maisonette, spanning an impressive 1,199 sq ft, set within an elegant period building just 0.1 miles from Crouch Hill Overground Station. Perfectly positioned for families, the property is also within easy reach of highly regarded schools, including Ashmount Primary (0.2 miles) and Coleridge Primary (0.4 miles).

Brimming with charm yet thoughtfully enhanced for modern living, this exceptional home is defined by one key theme: light. From the moment you step through the private entrance, the sense of space and brightness is unmistakable. A wide entrance hall offers potential for storage while a striking staircase, illuminated by a large sash window, ensures natural light pours through the heart of the home.

Beautiful period details remain throughout, including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, and elegant proportions, all complemented by double-glazed windows and stylish contemporary finishes. The centrepiece of the home is the stunning open-plan reception and kitchen space, where light streams in from both ends of the property, creating an uplifting and sociable environment ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike.

To the rear, a generous double bedroom enjoys peaceful views over the private garden, while a further bedroom provides the perfect nursery, guest room or home office.

The upper floor has been cleverly extended to create two further spacious double bedrooms and an additional bathroom. Once again, the design places a strong emphasis on natural light, with every room feeling bright, airy and welcoming.

Outside, the private garden offers a tranquil retreat and valuable outdoor space rarely found with homes of this style and location.

The property is offered with a long lease and the added benefit of the freehold reversion, presenting an attractive long-term ownership opportunity.

Shaftesbury Road is ideally situated to enjoy the very best of both Crouch End and Stroud Green, with their eclectic mix of independent cafés, restaurants, shops and local amenities. Excellent transport links are close at hand via Crouch Hill Overground Station, while frequent bus routes provide swift access to Finsbury Park Station. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the nearby Parkland Walk offers a picturesque green corridor, perfect for walking, running and cycling.
