3 bedroom maisonette

Moments from Newington Green on a quiet tree lined street, this architecturally designed three-bedroom home occupies all but the lower ground floor of this attractive Victorian building. Spanning over 1,450sqft, this beautiful home is enveloped in light through its east to west aspect, and is being sold with the benefit of freehold title.

Elegantly designed with both period and sympathetic modern touches, this expansive maisonette is accessed via the raised ground floor and leads to a cleverly designed entrance hall featuring a helpful storage system for hanging coats, sorting post, even storing tiny wellies and treasures - a place for everything. This beautiful home seamlessly blends functionality and utility with playful accents and timeless detail throughout. Leading further, there is an impressive through-lounge and dining room featuring large bay fronted sash windows, two cast iron fireplaces with marble mantels, warm wood floors and voluminous ceilings lined with original mouldings and architectural details. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a mix of matte white storage, open shelving and reclaimed antique wood countertops. There is a wonderful sense of connection, space and light that has been created with the kitchen worktop leading directly into the dining room through a perfectly framed opening allowing dinner parties to be catered with ease. Double doors lead from the kitchen onto a cast iron spiral staircase which opens to a private paved garden with mature planting, integrated seating and storage, and ample space to enjoy sunny afternoons either relaxing or entertaining. The ground floor also benefits from a guest WC and additional fitted storage.

A grand staircase leads up to the first floor with a large double bedroom at the front of the property showing two large sash windows, exposed timber floors, a full wall of fitted wardrobes and a white painted cast iron fireplace and hearth with two matching desks and open shelving on either side. A further double bedroom facing the garden is currently configured as a child’s room with twin beds and a mix of open shelving, unique fitted storage and a joyful sense of play through primary colours and house silhouette, as well as a charming, fitted fireplace. To the rear of the first floor is a substantial utility / laundry area coupled with a contemporary, minimalist designed fitted bathroom with large deep tub, micro square tile flooring, and a separate fully tiled shower - a wonderfully practical addition to this home.

The ascent to the third floor is filled with light from a heavenly sky light that pours light onto the stairwell - a pathway to retreat into a truly private space with views onto fragrant linden trees. The primary bedroom takes this entire floor which boasts an abundance of natural light via its floor to ceiling fix panel windows, as well as a Juliette balcony and three fitted fully opening skylights. It is a tranquil space with open shelving, deep wardrobe and a number of great storage cupboards within the eaves. This lovely room would also lend itself to a workspace or studio.

Leconfield Road is enviably positioned on the borders of Highbury, Newington Green, Stoke Newington, Canonbury & Dalston– any prospective purchaser will be truly spoiled for choice with a vibrant mix of independent stores, cafes, bars and restaurants to choose from.

Sought-after Newington Green offers several great dining, coffee and shopping spots, including Parilla, Jolene and Jumi Cheese. Much-loved Stoke Newington Church Street is also just a stroll away and is home to a plethora of retail and dining options such as The Good Egg, The Clarence and Whole Foods. Delicious Sonora Taqueria, is also close by on Stoke Newington High Street.
