From the Agent: "Located in the heart of Finsbury Park is Queen’s Drive, a wonderful three-bedroom apartment in a converted Victorian townhouse. Overseen by William Paul Architecture, the refurbishment of the building has resulted in spaces that have been sensitively designed with the help of interior designer Victoria Todd to accentuate their grand proportions and original features. A pared-back material and color palette engender an air of exceptional calm. The apartment has a large private garden and lies a short walk from Clissold Park and Stoke Newington Church Street—and Blackstock Road is less than a five-minute walk away."

Clad in sandstone-colored brick and white stucco, the historic residence features a landscaped front garden leading up to its arched entryway.
