Marlborough Road, London, N19

Welcome to this fantastic one-bedroom apartment on Marlborough Road — a delightfully residential street just off Hornsey Road, where the neighbours are friendly, the transport links are plentiful, and Jolene is close enough to tempt you into daily pastries (we take no responsibility). Perched on the second floor of a well-maintained building of just four flats, this bright and airy home features an open-plan living room and kitchen, complete with white cabinetry — ideal for whipping up dinner or impressing your friends with how tidy you keep your worktops. Wooden floors add warmth throughout, while the contemporary tiled bathroom is perfect for those who enjoy a long soak after braving the Northern Line. The double bedroom is comfortably sized, with ample room for wardrobe storage and the obligatory laundry chair (we all have one). Location-wise, you’re spoilt. Upper Holloway Overground is moments away, with Archway and Finsbury Park stations also within easy reach — meaning your commute options are as varied as the café selection nearby. Speaking of which, you’ll find everything from artisan bakeries to independent wine shops within a short stroll. Stroud Green Road offers organic treats at Urban Native, a superb delicatessen at Butler’s, and the acclaimed Tollingtons restaurant. Fancy some green space? Waterlow Park, Finsbury Park, and even the legendary Highgate Cemetery are close by for Sunday strolls, winding walks, or impressing visiting friends with atmospheric Victorian gravestones. For entertainment, Crouch End’s cinemas — including Arthouse and Picturehouse — are easily accessible, perfect for catching the latest indie release or simply enjoying an air-conditioned seat. With excellent bus connections and some of London’s best food, parks and pubs on your doorstep — hello, Faltering Fullback and The Plimsoll — this is a home that offers convenience, culture and comfort in equal measure. Available now. Come for the flat, stay for the neighbourhood… but mainly the flat (we’re biased). Rental deposit : £1650 Rental Amount:£1903 Council Tax band:C Local authority: Islington
