About this property

Open Skies, by Veeve

Though it might look like your typical chocolate-box terrace from the outside, step in and you'll find an impressively slick, four-bedroom home, boasting a bright, modern aesthetic, an abundance of glass, and access to a well-furnished garden. Just down the road is Finsbury Park, ideal for a welcome walk, fuelled by an equally welcome choice of coffee shops. A bit further on and you'll discover the village vibes of artsy Crouch End, offering a slew of independent cafes and restaurants. Fancy venturing further afield? Archway and Finsbury stations are a short stroll away — perfect for a quick jaunt into the city.

Steering a perfect course between stylish city pad and inviting family home is no easy feat, but this particular terrace house makes it look like a piece of cake. Downstairs is a lesson in modernist interiors, pairing clean lines with blended textures. Nestled by the bay window is a cushy living room, made extra inviting by soft tones and plush sofas, whilst the kitchen affords a taste of sleek, Scandi style, basking in the glow of a few well-placed skylights. Glass doors open onto the patio, which is summer-ready and raring to go, offering a sheltered alfresco dining table and tempting outdoor sofa — the perfect spot for a few evening drinks. And whilst you're enjoying a BBQ on the terrace, the children have plenty to entertain themselves with, including a climbing frame and swing. Upstairs is a similarly stylish story, enhanced by heaps of natural light.

We Love
Staying in the principal bedroom almost feels like sleeping at the top of a luxury tree house, with its skylight and treetop views. Although not to be outdone, the second double bedroom pairs bright, airy interiors with garden views. We also love how well this home is kitted out for young families, with its adorable, jungle-themed bunk beds.

Home Truths:
No smoking, pets or parties! Set over three floors, this home does involve a few stairs. The second bedroom is a little short on storage space, so you'll have to share. A high chair and travel cot can be made available on request. One room on the top floor (not pictured) will be locked with no access, as will the garden shed. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.

Perfect for us!
We stayed here in August and it was the perfect place for us! It was so nice to have toys at the property that the kids could play with and not worry about them running around in the back yard. I couldn’t imagine being in a hotel room after staying here. It was close enough to the wedding we were going to and not too far from London by underground. The management was responsive and very kind. I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone, especially if you have kids. Beds were very comfortable and my kids loved the bunk bed!

A home away from home. We believe it can be something really special. We know that finding the perfect base from which to go out and explore - or stay in and recharge - can make a great vacation unforgettable. At Veeve, we've been committed to hand-selecting the very best homes in London and Paris since 2011. Our mission? To provide our guests with the ideal space to suit their needs; be it a family home in Kensington, a chic penthouse in Shoreditch, or a quirky loft in the Marais...
Our homes may vary in size, style and location, but the experience we offer - seamless and curated - always stays the same. Whichever home you choose, our team of experts are bursting with insider knowledge on the local area. We love to make recommendations, so why not give us a call?

Why they chose this property

Archway is a bustling area boasting various restaurants, pubs, a Saturday market as well as excellent bus links into Central London. One of London's best Old English gastropubs is just minutes away, the Bull & Last. Highgate Cemetery is right on your doorstep and known for the famous names it has buried such as Karl Marx. Take a walk through the cemetery and admire the Gothic tombs, vaults and winding paths of this age-old ground.
