This elegant two-bedroom garden apartment occupies the raised-ground floor of a smart Victorian building on Hornsey Rise, directly opposite locally loved Elthorne Park. Recently renovated to an exacting standard by Andrew Dobson Architects, the design celebrates the building’s expansive proportions and original details with carefully-chosen contemporary materials. The private garden was designed by Liz Friedrich using wildflowers and scented climbing plants that enclose a cedar-clad garden room / home office to create a wonderful retreat from the city.
