1 Bedroom Flat, New North Road, London, N1

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Set on the ground floor of a grand Grade II listed Georgian terrace, this one-bedroom flat balances handsome proportions with a tranquil, modern sensibility. The bones of the building define the spaces here; elegant arched windows frame the living room, interior shutters soften the light, and hardwood floors run underfoot. Built-in shelving in the hallway adds another thoughtful layer — practical, yes, but also genuinely atmospheric.

The kitchen sits just off the main living area; a calm, neutral nook with clean cabinetry and enough space to cook while still feeling part of the conversation. The bathroom strikes that difficult balance between old and new, with a carefully considered mix of materials. Then there’s the bedroom: built-in wardrobes keep things blissfully clutter-free, while doors open directly onto the sun-drenched roof terrace — a spot that's suited to slow morning coffees or something cold at golden hour.

Pitfield Street is moments away, so your café, pub and cinema habits are all well catered for. Curious Yellow Kafe, The George and Vulture, and the Curzon Hoxton are all within a minute’s walk, while both Old Street and Hoxton stations are around 10 minutes away, when the rest of London calls.

THE OWNERS SAY

We fell in love with this flat long before we ever had the chance to buy it — our closest friends lived here, and every visit made it harder to leave. The original Georgian features, the generous sash windows flooding the reception room with light, and that sun-trapped terrace had us completely won over. When we heard it was coming to market, we didn't hesitate.

This was our first home together, and it turned out to be the perfect one. The street has a rare village calm to it — quietly residential, with a real sense of community — yet Hoxton and Shoreditch are just moments away. The best of both worlds, and we've loved every minute of it.

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.
