Victorian character meets contemporary living — big windows, terrace and three bedrooms.
Converted 1837 schoolhouse with striking vaulted living space
Set within a converted 1837 schoolhouse on Leswin Road, this newly renovated three-bedroom end-of-terrace balances historic character with contemporary finishes. The upper floor’s vaulted living room retains dramatic exposed beams and large chapel-style windows, while skylights and bespoke steel doors open to a generous first-floor terrace. Electric underfloor heating throughout offers consistent warmth and a clean aesthetic.
Downstairs houses three well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite and freestanding roll-top bath. High-quality joinery, Carrara worktops and fumed oak flooring underline the careful refurbishment. Outside, a private ground-floor courtyard and planted terrace provide usable outdoor space for dining and entertaining.
Practical positives include a very long lease (approx. 990 years) on a share-of-freehold basis, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and convenient access to Rectory Road Overground and Stoke Newington’s shops, cafés and parks. Nearby highly rated primary schools make this attractive to families.
Notable considerations: heating is electric underfloor throughout, which can mean higher electricity costs depending on tariff; the property sits in an area flagged as deprived and council tax is above average. Service charge is approx. £820 per annum. Crime levels are average for the area.
