"The communal areas, particularly the entrance lobby and hallways, maintain much of their original fine detail, including artfully patterned tiling and wood panelling."
Forming part of this well-maintained mid-century block, this charming second-floor studio apartment has been thoughtfully redesigned to create a wonderful living space in an excellent location on Hornsey Lane.
The compact space has a well-proportioned living area with two large square timber-framed windows that look out to the rear of the building and the mature trees that surround the site. The floors have been laid with a honey-coloured oak parquet, arranged in a herringbone pattern, that runs through to the kitchen. There is space for a small dining table, and a large cupboard providing necessary storage. The good-sized bathroom has a bath with a shower fitting over it.
The block is very-well looked after by the residents who each own a share of the freehold. The communal areas, particularly the entrance lobby and hallways, maintain much of their original fine detail, including artfully patterned tiling and wood panelling.
Wren View sits high on the hill between Highgate and Archway. Hornsey lane connects Waterlow Park, to the west, and Crouch End, to the east. The green spaces of Highgate Wood are a short distance to the north, beyond Highgate station, and Parkland Walk, a leafy path along the old railway line, links Highgate to Finsbury Park. Hamsptead Heath is also within striking distance.
The are lots of good places to eat and drink in the area, most notably the St. John’s Tavern situated just beyond Archway Station. Archway has recently undergone major redevelopment that hugely benefits the local area, amongst other things creating a new pedestrianised area that allows for two weekly farmers’ markets.
Both Archway and Highgate stations are on the High Barnet branch of the Northern Line, making for quick access into town. Nearby Upper Holloway runs services on the London Overground.
