2 bed Flat For Sale £675,000
This bright and spacious two/three-bedroom apartment is configured across the top two floors of a Victorian conversion in the heart of Stoke Newington. The apartment was extended and reconfigured in recent years care of archea Architecture, who have cleverly maximised the flow of natural light and the functionality of the flowing internal spaces. Butterfield Green and Clissold Park are a short walk from the apartment, as are the numerous cafes, restaurants and shops of Kingsland Road and Newington Green.
The Tour
Allen Road is a quiet, tree-lined residential street running east to west along the northern edge of Butterfield Green. The apartment is located on the top floors of an elegant former Victorian residence at the end of the terrace; the façade is formed of white stucco and London stock brick, with large sash windows on the first and second floors.
Upon entry, a private staircase on the first floor leads up to the second-floor living spaces, where engineered oak floorboards run underfoot. A bright kitchen and reception room are positioned at the front of the plan, bathed in natural light care of two large sash windows facing south over Allen Road. The kitchen contains an induction hob, an integrated slimline dishwasher, oven and a fridge/freezer. The sash windows are double glazed.
The reception room adjoins this space; brilliantly flexible, it is used by the current owners as a dining room and informal lounge. A large double bedroom is positioned at the rear of the plan on this floor; this is a similarly versatile space and is currently configured as a living/TV room. A shower room is located between the two.
The third floor is given over to two further double bedrooms. The rear-facing bedroom has an en suite bathroom with micro tiles underfoot and a large south-facing window, which frames peaceful treetop views from the bath. The front-facing bedroom has sliding windows opening to a thin running balcony behind a parapet. All windows on this floor are double glazed, by Velfac. There is a convenient storage cupboard on the landing, as well as copious amounts of eaves storage over the staircase.
The Area
The quiet terrace of houses on Allen Road is perfectly positioned for the best of Stoke Newington, Newington Green and Dalston. There is a small cluster of charming shops a short walk away, including Luminary Bakery, Bodega 50 coffee shop and deli, The Shakespeare pub and La Barca pizzeria. Nearby, local favourite Esters serves exceptional breakfast, lunch and coffee. A few minutes away, much-loved Church Street is home to The Spence Bakery, Whole Foods and The Good Egg, as well as many other independent shops, restaurants and cafes. A short walk away is Primeur, which serves modern European cuisine and natural wine on nearby Petherton Road. Jolene is also close at hand for weekend pastries, sandwiches and pizza.
There are several green spaces nearby including Newington Green and Butterfield Park, a mere three-minute walk from the house; Abney Cemetery is a six-minute walk and Clissold Park is a nine-minute walk, with its 56 acres of green space that contain tennis courts, a popular cafe, beautiful lakes, and resident deer. Clissold Leisure Centre is six minutes away and has two pools, a gym, squash courts, a sauna, a creche and a cafe.
Stoke Newington is very popular with young families, in part due to the number of good schools and nurseries in the area. Particularly noteworthy are the Betty Layward Primary, Grasmere Primary and Stoke Newington School and Sixth Form.
Dalston Kingsland, Dalston Junction and Canonbury stations are all within easy reach and run Overground services to Highbury & Islington, Shoreditch High Street and Stratford. Rectory Road is also close by and runs regular services to Liverpool Street in around 15 minutes. There are plenty of good bus connections to central London.
