2 bed Flat For Sale £995,000
This elegant two-bedroom split-level apartment, with private courtyard garden, occupies the upper and lower-ground floors of a converted terraced house in Stoke Newington. The interiors and exteriors have been redesigned by the current owner, introducing a refined contemporary aesthetic to these generous Victorian spaces.
Internal accommodation extends to approximately 1,250 sq ft and is entered at lower-ground level via tiered front garden of railway sleepers, shielded from the road by a mature olive tree. There are quarry tiles in the entranceway, with a concealed storage cupboard positioned beneath the external stairs to the upper-ground floor. Original oak floorboards with a lime wash run across the remainder of the apartment. Low-level, black cast iron radiators have also been fitted throughout.
A master bedroom is positioned at the front of the apartment, capitalising on a large bay window to bathe the room in natural light. Original wooden shutters have been carefully restored and bespoke built-in wardrobes have been added. A further bedroom is positioned at the back of the apartment. This room has been called the ‘Garden Room’ by the current owners and is used as a guest bedroom, office and occasionally a further reception room. A fireplace of exposed brick, has been painted white and provides a wonderful focal point in the room. Glazed doors open out directly onto a patio area and a large private garden, partially shaded by a mature robinia tree, a mature jasmine, an Ivy and a crab-apple tree. There is also a family bathroom on this lower-ground floor with concrete floors; a storage and utility space is positioned under the stairs.
The first floor is arguably the most impressive space in the apartment. There is an office space configured on the landing, with views, as well as access, out over the garden through a long vertical section of glazing. A bespoke designed kitchen and dining room is positioned at the rear of the apartment, with marble work tops, handmade copper taps and integrated appliances by Smeg. The adjoining living room is front-facing with bay windows, hardwood Victorian shutters and one of the property’s original stone fireplaces. These spaces offer flexible living options and can be partitioned via a pair of wooden doors. Original Victorian features including cornices, high skirting boards, doors and window frames have been preserved.
The apartment has been extensively refurbished by the current owner. Work has included a new roof, central heating system, plaster work, re-wiring and exterior refurbishment.
Farleigh Road is quietly located within walking distance of the shops, restaurants and bars of Stoke Newington, Dalston, London Fields, and Islington. Stoke Newington Church Street, a short walk to the north, has a reputation for some excellent places to eat and drink, as does Newington Green to the west. A short walk east finds the popular Chatsworth Road, brimming with independent coffee shops, restaurants and a Sunday market. The green spaces of Hackney Downs, Clissold Park and London Fields are all close at hand, as are the wild open spaces of Hackney & Walthamstow Marshes.
The nearest train station is Rectory Road with regular trains to Liverpool Street taking around 13 minutes. Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction station are also both close by providing London Overground services to Stratford International and Highbury & Islington (Victoria Line).
