2 bed Flat For Sale £520,000
This bright two-bedroom apartment is part of the picturesque Gibson Gardens estate in Stoke Newington and has been wonderfully reconfigured to a design by Emil Eve Architects.
The Building
Gibson Gardens is a gated estate of Victorian mansion blocks built in 1880 by the Metropolitan Association for Improving the Dwellings of the Industrious Classes (maidic). The development originally comprised three brick blocks of four-storey flats and a row of “cottages”, which housed the elderly relations of those living in the blocks. Each building still bears its original name; The Long Block, The Gatehouse Block, The Railway Block and The Cottages.
The residents of Gibson Gardens benefit from beautiful outdoor spaces within the estate, linked by car-free cobbled streets. Vegetable gardens, a pizza oven and seating areas have been set up in these areas and give the estate a wonderful sense of community.
The Tour
Approached along a gated, cobbled street, the third-floor apartment is accessed via a communal staircase. Entrance is to a central hall, with living accommodation to the right and bedrooms to the left. The living space overlooks the communal square through large sash windows that receive the morning light. Bespoke Ash shelving has been incorporated, providing excellent storage space and a sensitive tonal contrast to the simple white kitchen. This has Corian worktops and a splashback of the same material.
New tiling, cork and carpet delineate the hallway, bedroom and bathroom spaces and playful touches of colour have been introduced throughout. The bedrooms are positioned on the left-hand side of the plan, each with its own sash window.
The bathroom, found at the end of the hall, has a double-ended bath with a large-headed shower, and underfloor heating. There is also a large loft, reached via a retractable ladder, which provides useful storage space.
The Area
Gibson Gardens is very well positioned in central Stoke Newington, a vibrant area packed with cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars and shops. The apartment is right by the entrance of Abney Park – a wild and woodland space – and minutes from Stoke Newington Church Street and the green expanse of Clissold Park.
Stoke Newington station is just around the corner and runs London Overground services to Liverpool Street in around 10 minutes or Seven Sisters in around four minutes, for connections to the Underground. A number of buses run into central London and the neighbouring Dalston area.
