Spacious three-bedroom penthouse with huge south-facing terrace and skyline views.
Private lift opens directly into the apartment
Set atop a converted Victorian schoolhouse in Stoke Newington, this 1,456 sq ft penthouse combines period character with contemporary living. The private lift opens directly into a generous open-plan living area, while a full-width south-facing terrace offers sweeping London skyline views and space for dining and planting. Three double bedrooms and two stone-finished bathrooms provide comfortable family living or a high-end pied-à-terre.
Practical strengths include a two-zone smart heating system, high ceilings in the former school rooms and 115 years remaining on the lease. Local amenities and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and Overground stations nearby provide good connections into the City and West End.
Important practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold (service charge approx. £3,600pa; ground rent £450pa), council tax Band E and broadband speeds are reported slow. The area records above-average crime rates and higher local deprivation levels, which may influence family buyers’ sense of security and resale expectations.
This is a distinctive, high-ceilinged home for buyers seeking a statement penthouse with large outdoor space and period bones, who are comfortable with leasehold costs and the neighbourhood’s mixed socio-economic profile.
