Arty buy: open-plan flat in Enfield's Grade II-listed estate once home to socialite and arts patron Sir Philip Sassoon

The enviable setting of Trent Park in Enfield and its Grade II-listed mansion house, once the north London home of Thirties arts patron and socialite Sir Philip Sassoon, have been transformed into a collection of new homes, including this new-build one-bedroom flat in Highfield House.

Bright, airy open-plan living/dining and kitchen areas open to a balcony overlooking pretty communal gardens, while the master suite has fitted wardrobes and there are Shaker-style details in the bathroom.

Residents share a gym, outdoor pool, tennis courts and a shuttle bus to Oakwood Tube with fast trains to King’s Cross.

It's for sale for £575,000. Call Berkeley Homes (020 8012 3443).
