Bright, newly renovated two-bed in Stoke Newington with south-facing communal garden..
Newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment
Set on the first floor of an early Victorian semi-detached building in the Cazenove Conservation Area, this newly renovated two-bedroom apartment combines period character with a calm, contemporary finish. Wide oak floorboards, bespoke shelving and a neutral Farrow & Ball palette create a bright, welcoming interior where south-facing rooms catch daylight throughout the day.
Accommodation includes a well-proportioned reception room, an elongated kitchen with original sash window and terrazzo-style tiles, two double bedrooms with built-in storage, and a recently refreshed bathroom with matt black fittings. An established, south-facing communal garden sits at the front of the building and benefits from mature hedging and direct sun — useful for planting or casual outdoor entertaining.
Practical points are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with approximately 93 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £3,444 and a small ground rent of £100. The building has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing installed before 2002; some buyers may wish to budget for further thermal improvements in future. Access is by a communal staircase to the first floor (no lift).
Location is a major draw: minutes from Stoke Newington Church Street’s shops, cafes and restaurants, with Clissold, Abney and Springfield parks nearby and regular Overground services to Liverpool Street. The apartment suits first-time buyers or buyers seeking a low-maintenance, turn-key home close to amenities and green space, but be mindful of the lease length and annual running costs when assessing value.
