2 bed Flat For Sale £550,000
Unfolding over the raised ground floor of a traditional Victorian terraced house, this two-bedroom apartment has been sensitively reconfigured by the current architect owners. The lateral spaces gently flow from the bedrooms at the front of the plan, to the open-plan living area at the rear and the ensuing south-facing garden. The house is positioned on a quiet road within easy reach of Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington and the Harringey Ladder.
The Tour
The painted brick façade of the home conceals the contemporary nature of the renovations within. Tiled steps ascend to the raised ground floor, where a slim hallway extends the length of the plan to provide access to all rooms. There is a generous cupboard in the hallway for storage, as well as a cellar space below. A Nest smart heating system extends throughout the house, as does underfloor heating.
Positioned at the rear of the apartment, the kitchen, dining and living areas exemplify a thoroughly modern approach to design. An expansive skylight above illuminates the space, working in harmony with a large glazed door that opens directly to the garden, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out. The dining area is currently positioned below the skylight, with the living area adjacent, carefully delineating the spaces yet ensuring a connection between them. Built-in cupboards and open shelves extend along one wall providing ample storage.
The kitchen extends along one wall; made fully bespoke for the space, the joinery embodies careful attention to detail. Corian worktops and a splashback flow above Valchromat drawers that conceal storage, while the open shelving above has built-in underlighting that casts a soft glow over the space. There is a Goreje induction hob, as well as a Neff built-in oven. Whitewashed oak floorboards extend underfoot throughout.
At the front of the plan lies the main bedroom, a beautifully bright space care of three expansive sash windows that welcome light in. White-painted shutters frame the windows, and a wall of full-height Valchomat wardrobes have been built-in along one wall. The second bedroom has similarly well-executed built-in storage, and looks into a lightwell beyond. Both rooms have been decorated using a neutral palette that would suit a variety of possible decorative choices, as has the bathroom.
Outdoor Space
The south-facing garden is a suntrap throughout the day, making it the perfect spot for morning coffees, alfresco lunches and evening entertaining. There is a decked wooden section at the front, with built-in seating along one side. Steps ascend to the rear of the space, which is paved with slate.
The whole garden is surrounded by raised beds, carefully planted with a variety of mature species along with some newer ones, creating a verdant space that blooms with life in the summer months.
The Area
The apartment is located between Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill, within easy reach of the independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs of Stoke Newington and Newington Green; Esters and Jolene are particular neighbourhood favourites. Much-loved Church Street is home to The Spence Bakery, Whole Foods and The Good Egg, as well as many other independent businesses. The beautiful green spaces of Clissold Park and Abney Park Cemetery are nearby, with Woodbury Wetlands nature reserve less than 20 minutes' walk west.
The area is very popular with young families, in part due to the number of good schools in the area. Particularly noteworthy are the Betty Layward Primary and Stoke Newington School. Also nearby are Holmleigh Primary school, rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted and Sir Thomas Abney, recently rated 'Good'.
Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington stations run Overground trains to Highbury & Islington, Shoreditch High Street and Stratford. Seven Sisters tube is a short bus ride away, as is Manor House running Victoria and Piccadilly line underground services respectively.
