Chadwell Lane, London, N8

One bed apartment with private West-facing double balcony, on the third floor of award winning landmark riverfront development, on the site of a former Victorian waterworks, (the old steam-powered pumping station is still standing), set against the spectacular backdrop of Ally Pally. Ever helpful 24hr concierge means no missed Amazon deliveries, you can even have your dry cleaning picked up and returned, and the residents gym membership is included in the price, as well as water rates. Gated underground bicycle parking. Handy for Hornsey BR station (5min on foot), and the independent bars restaurants and shops of Hornsey High Street and Crouch End’s legendary Broadway. Providing a generous 53m2 of accommodation, the apartment has a bright, open layout, and modern interior design, with contemporary fixtures and fittings, decorated with attractively accented walls, with a mixture of timber and ceramic floor finishes. Available minimally furnished, the apartment can available unfurnished. Double glazed throughout, these apartments are very well insulated, and require little heating, and are comparatively inexpensive to run. Access via french windows to private west facing balcony with beautiful views across Hornsey to the north and west, taking in the parkland surrounding Ally Pally and the palace itself. The balcony running across the full width of the apartment, accessible from both reception and bedroom, and gets a decent view of the sun slipping behind Highgate Woods, best appreciated with a freshly shaken margarita or two in our experience. In addition, maintained landscaped riverfront gardens, and an expansive communal wooden decked roof terrace with near 360º views of the area provide additional options for taking the air. A two minute walk along the river to the North and you’re in the grounds of Grade ll listed Alexandra Palace, with 80 acres of landscaped parkland, and paths alongside reservoirs that are home to Kingfishers, Cormorants and Heron. There’s even a boating lake. If you get fed up with exploring this, Queens and Highgate Woods ancient trees, part of the original Forest of England, Parkland Walk (a former railway track, now green space with a viaduct that takes you up to Muswell Hill past the chimney pots of St James Lane) and Priory Park are all within easy reach on foot.
