Milton Grove, London, N16 8QY

With its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom and open-plan kitchen/living space, the apartment adds genuine versatility. It could provide ideal accommodation for a nanny or au pair, creating the possibility of high-quality live-in childcare at a more affordable cost. Equally, it could suit downsizers or multi-generational households, offering the opportunity to generate additional income, provide guest accommodation or space for independent older children.

The main house has been thoughtfully reworked for modern life while retaining the character that makes Victorian homes so enduring. High ceilings, a broad bay window and period details sit alongside contemporary glazing, refined finishes and a calm, heritage-inspired palette reminiscent of Farrow & Ball and Little Greene.

The ground floor is made for gathering. An elegant front reception room overlooks Butterfield Green, while to the rear, a beautifully appointed shaker-style kitchen features quartz worktops, generous cabinetry and high-quality integrated appliances. Beyond, a Crittall-style glazed extension that opens directly onto the garden draws in light and creates an effortless space for dining, lounging and everyday family life.

Upstairs, the first floor offers a generous principal bedroom with extensive built-in storage and a further double bedroom. The top floor provides two additional bedrooms and a beautifully finished family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower.

Outside, the secluded south-west-facing garden includes a lawn, mature planting and two terraces, perfect for sunny afternoons, summer dinners and quiet evenings.
