Route de Tufnell Park

A private front door, period character at every turn, and a private roof terrace with a leafy outlook
Set within a late-Victorian terrace on one of Tufnell Park’s most characterful roads, the property is an upper maisonette designed with real care. It has its own private entrance, so there is no shared hallway, just a front door that opens straight onto period tiling running the length of the hall and up to the first floor. It is the kind of detail that sets the tone for everything that follows. At the top of the stairs, the reception room is a beautiful space, three windows wide, with new double glazing and a fireplace as its focal point. It is incredibly bright, and equally suited to quiet evenings and entertaining. Next door, the kitchen is finished to a good standard and looks out over the back of the house. There is room to eat in, or you can dine more formally in the reception room, so the layout adapts to how you live. The south-east facing private roof terrace, accessed from the upper mezzanine, is a standout feature and provides a welcome outdoor setting for coffee, dining, or unwinding above the street, with a leafy outlook and space to enjoy the sunshine. A bathroom on the lower mezzanine serves both rooms. The two generous double bedrooms are filled with natural light and offer ample storage and privacy. Above, a beautifully finished loft space, illuminated by two Velux rooflights offers valuable flexible space for storage or working from home. It is a valuable complement to the two main bedrooms. Throughout, considered finishes, original character and generous natural light create a warm and welcoming home, combining the best of an established Victorian setting with the flexibility of contemporary maisonette living. The location is equally appealing. Situated in the heart of Tufnell Park, the property is just a few minutes’ walk from Tufnell Park Underground station (Northern line), with excellent connections to the City and West End within about twenty minutes. Tufnell Park enjoys a prime North London location, with Kentish Town, Dartmouth Park and Highgate all within easy reach. Hampstead Heath is within easy reach too, and together with Waterlow Park it offers wonderful green space nearby, while Kentish Town station (Underground and National Rail) and Upper Holloway (Overground) provide additional transport options, complemented by convenient bus routes. Families are well placed for a range of local schools, including Eleanor Palmer, Tufnell Park Primary and Yerbury Primary, as well as Acland Burghley and William Ellis. Fortess Road and Junction Road are home to a wonderful selection of independent cafés, delis, restaurants and pubs, giving the area its distinctive village atmosphere, with Dartmouth Park and Kentish Town offering even more to explore.
