Set within a striking converted Victorian school, this split-level two-bedroom apartment offers more than 1,000 sq ft of light-filled living arranged over two floors. The showpiece 34 ft open-plan kitchen/reception benefits from large arched windows and high ceilings, creating an airy social hub ideal for family life or entertaining. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite; a second double bedroom and modern bathroom complete the accommodation.
Presented in excellent, newly renovated condition, the flat combines period character with contemporary fittings and built-in appliances. Practical extras include secure bicycle storage, off-street parking and a gated development with a dramatic glazed atrium — rare conveniences for this part of Stoke Newington. Clissold Park and the shops, cafés and restaurants of Church Street are within a short walk.
Important practical points are plain: the property is leasehold (circa 100 years remaining) with an annual service charge around £2,102, and heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating — likely to influence running costs. The building’s solid brick construction (original Victorian walls) suggests limited built-in insulation unless already upgraded.
This is a strong option for a family or professional couple seeking a spacious, characterful home near excellent local schools and fast transport links into the City and West End. The flat is offered chain free and shows very well, but buyers should factor in service charges, leasehold tenure and the electric heating when assessing long-term costs.
