Favourably located on the Highgate side of Crouch End, within a short walk of the Broadway, this wonderful two-bedroom maisonette occupies the upper floors of one of the area’s most sought-after Modernist buildings.

Highgate Spinney was built between 1964 and 1966 to a design by the noted architects John Howard and Bruce Rotherham. It consists of 30 apartments in a secluded position, surrounded by trees and communal gardens. The flat has the use of an off-street parking space in the development.

The property is entered from an external walkway on the first floor. There is an entrance hall with storage for coats, and a staircase up to the split-level living space on the second floor. At the rear is a reception room with fine views, and at the front a kitchen and dining room with doors onto a terrace. The space has windows to two aspects, providing outstanding natural light. The third floor contains two double bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as a second terrace at the rear.

Crescent Road is a tranquil tree-lined street within walking distance of Crouch End Broadway, with its many shops and restaurants.

To the north is Alexandra Park and to the south is Finsbury Park, which are connected by the Parkland Walk, a former railway line.
