1 bed flat for sale

Birnam Road, Finsbury Park, London N4

Close to Finsbury Park, this one-bedroom Victorian conversion exudes soul and serenity—where soothing colours and historical details quietly anchor the pared-back interiors.

Brickworks Says

Nestled on a peaceful street, lined with classic Victorian red-brick villas, this one-bedroom flat offers a slice of calm just steps from the urban energy beyond. Beautifully tended to by its current owners, the space is grounded by a soothing palette of earthy neutrals, where the clever use of colour drenching creates a cocoon-like atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease.

The living room's dado rails gently echo the building's history, adding charm and visual balance that softens the minimalism. The bathroom carries a subtle wabi-sabi vibe—perfectly imperfect and beautiful. Thoughtfully integrated storage in both bedroom and bathroom keeps clutter at bay, enhancing the home's serene ambience.

Situated where Finsbury Park meets Stroud Green and Islington, this leafy corner of London has a strong community spirit and a thriving scene of independent cafés and eateries. The bustling heart of Finsbury Park itself is just a short stroll away, while the village feel of Crouch End is close enough for weekend wanderings.

The Owners Say

The local area is great. Everything you need is within easy reach; from supermarkets, cafés, gyms, parks and pubs—they’re all so conveniently nearby. The flat itself is on a great road that’s tucked away, so it's never too noisy. And the local community is really committed to the area, so it has a really nice feel to it. I will be sad to leave!

The Legal Bit

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
