The Home -
Occupying the second and third floors, this Victorian conversion has been wonderfully renovated and loved by the current owners, the footprint is over 935 square feet and has lots of exposed brickwork and original features. Dual aspect Sash windows provide lots of natural light, with half of the property facing to the South West. Both bedrooms are good sized doubles and just some of the features include Softwood, Victorian sash windows with antique brass furniture, matching plug sockets and light switches in dark nickel finish, the property is painted Smoked Glass grey throughout, all the doors are matching and have hinges and knobs finished in antique brass.
Fonthill Road is perfectly located within easy reach of lots of green spaces, including Finsbury Park and the newly renovated Woodfall Park. Finsbury Park tube/train station is a seven minute walk from the flat, Kings Cross and central London is a handy eight minute tube ride away and there is also direct links to Heathrow and Gatwick plus a short tube ride to Tottenham Hale, where the Stansted Express leaves every thirty minutes.
The Indoors
The welcoming stairs are well lit by a recently fitted South West facing window. The traditional, white, wooden banister leads up to the landing which has built in storage with matching cupboard doors, designer brass light fittings, and the antique brass door furniture continues throughout. As you enter the living room you are greeted with two large Sash windows (with window boxes) that flood the room with natural light and an exposed brick fireplace, the fireplace has a new mantel piece surrounding a boxed in fireplace, which has the potential to be opened up. Solid oak shelves either side of the chimney breast are a neat addition. High skirting and ceiling roses further contribute to the Victorian feel. Cast iron radiators with thermostatic radiator valves finished in antique brass. USB sockets are present throughout and a smart (Nest) thermostat.
The kitchen opens out off the living room and has solid Oak worktops, a South west facing window and a beautiful Belfast sink. Newly laid commercial grade, Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring. The fridge, hob, oven and extractor are all Bosch and there is also a built in dishwasher and washing machine. Handy Oak shelving with hooks for pots and pans. High gloss, white cabinets provide plenty of cupboard space. The bathroom has been newly painted and also has a South West facing window, a roll top bath/shower, with hand shower and chrome finish fixtures, fitted with ample storage, including new cupboards and a vintage enamel sink.
Up on the top floor we have the two double bedrooms, the main bedroom has bespoke fitted wardrobes and cupboards, with matching fronts to the hallway storage. Original wooden floors, cast iron radiators with thermostatic radiator valves finished in antique brass. Solid oak shelving with decorative brass brackets.
The second bedroom has a bespoke fitted wardrobe, again with matching fronts to the hallway storage, original wooden floors, a South west facing window and here we have more of the cast iron radiators with thermostatic radiator valves finished in antique brass.
