2 bed Flat For Sale £850,000
This beautiful two-bedroom maisonette occupies the upper floors of a Victorian townhouse in Stoke Newington, north London. The interior spaces have been beautifully decorated with the soft tones of Farrow and Ball paint, working in harmony with birch ply detailing throughout. There is a secluded roof terrace on the top floor with far-reaching views across London, as well as a private section of the large rear garden.
The Tour
The house is set back from the street behind a front garden, where trailing ivy creates a green approach and provides privacy. The handsome façade is traditional London stock brick, with smart white stucco detailing around the fenestration. The entrance to this apartment is on the first floor, where a set of carpeted stairs ascend to the upper levels of the house.
The main living spaces occupy the second floor and are flooded with natural light from the front and rear aspects. The living and dining room, positioned at the front of the plan, has been painted in the calming shades of 'Ash Grey' by Farrow and Ball, with white-painted beams extending overhead. Two original sash windows welcome light in, working in harmony with the soft colour palette to create a serene, calm atmosphere. Storage takes the form of low-level, built-in birch ply cabinetry, which runs the length of one wall; there is also open shelving in the alcoves above. A soft, looped wool carpet has been introduced underfoot, completing the tranquil environment.
On the opposite side of the landing lies the kitchen, where a tiled splashback with a geometric design adds visual detail. The space is dual aspect, with the rear window framing beautiful views over the garden below. Worktops are made from simple oak with ample cabinetry above and below; the slate floor beneath has underfloor heating. There is a built-in fridge/freezer, oven and hob, as well as a breakfast bar with space for two stools. The landing itself is painted in 'De Nimes' by Farrow and Ball.
Also on this floor are a bedroom - currently used as an office and nursery - and a bathroom. The bedroom has been painted in Farrow and Ball's 'Cooking Apple Green' and has beautiful views over neighbouring treetops. There is a wall of built-in wardrobes, plus birch ply shelving neatly built into an alcove. The bathroom has slate-tiled walls and floors, with underfloor heating; there is a built-in bath and mirrored cabinetry for storage.
Carpeted stairs ascend to the top floor, where the main bedroom and bathroom lie. The bedroom is a brilliantly bright space, with direct access to the roof terrace through a wall of sliding glazed doors that allow light to flood into the room. South-facing, it receives a fantastic quality of light throughout the day. The room has been painted in the calming shades of 'Setting Plaster' by Farrow and Ball, which works in harmony with the bespoke birch ply storage; this takes the form of three built-in double wardrobes, with deep drawers below. The space is wonderfully serene at all times of the day.
The bathroom on this floor is a beautiful space, with a large walk-in shower clad in Italian porcelain tiles, handmade and arranged in a herringbone pattern. Brass fixtures and fittings add a traditional touch; a large skylight and window cast light over the space. Tongue and groove panelling lines the walls to the dado rail, and there is a large, double-ended roll-top bath for afternoon soaks.
Outdoor Space
The roof terrace makes the perfect spot for outdoor dining, with ample space for a seating area to enjoy the far-reaching views across London. The current owners have a variety of planters dotted around the outer edges, adding a dash of greenery. The decking is ThermoWood, a material renowned for its long lifespan.
The apartment also has a private section of the large garden positioned behind the house. Access is via a secure gate on the ground floor, which opens to a path that leads to the far end of the garden. There is a spacious decked area, where the current owners have a barbeque, and a large lawn bordered by beautiful planting. A mature specimen tree is positioned to one side.
The Area
Aden Grove is within easy reach of the independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs of Stoke Newington and Newington Green; Yield N16, Jolene. Perilla and Cadet 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. A short walk away is Primeur; recently described as “the perfect neighbourhood restaurant” it serves modern European cuisine and natural wine.
There are several green spaces nearby; Abney Park & Cemetery and Clissold Park, with its tennis courts, café, beautiful lakes, and resident deer, are local favourites. Newington Green itself is a hub for the local community, often hosting fetes, parties and community events.
Highbury Barn is also close at hand, with its wonderful butcher Godfrey’s, Bourne’s Fishmongers, Da Mario deli and the excellent original branch of La Fromagerie. The green, open spaces of Highbury Fields – which has tennis courts, a playground and a swimming pool – as well as Clissold Park and Finsbury Park, are within easy walking distance.
Newington Green is perfectly located for connections around the city. Buses run directly to London Bridge, Victoria, Waterloo and Kings Cross. Canonbury, a ten-minute walk away, runs Overground trains to Highbury & Islington, Shoreditch High Street and Stratford, as well as Camden and Hampstead.
