If you lived here...

You’d love the generous amount of lateral living space and easy flow in this immaculately presented property which has been completely renovated to a very high standard. From the moment you walk through the door, the apartment impresses with its elegant proportions and stylish décor.

The layout is considered, with both bedrooms at the front of the property, the bathroom in the middle, and the open plan living space at the rear. With a seamless connection to the garden thanks to huge sliding glazed doors, this light and airy space is a fabulous place to relax and entertain.

Spanning the rear of the house, this unusually large room has the feel of a new build property, with huge skylights, clean lines and a restrained palette of materials and colours. Extending to almost 18 feet, there’s plenty of space for a kitchen/dining zone and a lounge area. The modern fitted kitchen includes a large peninsula with a sink and breakfast/dining bar, and a glazed door to the internal courtyard provides additional natural light and ventilation.

The bathroom and second bedroom also have windows onto the courtyard, whilst the front bedroom has a large bay with plantation shutters. Both bedrooms are doubles with bespoke fitted wardrobes and original ceiling roses and cornicing, and the main front bedroom also has an original cast iron fireplace with an ornate tiled surround. The bathroom is a serene space with herringbone metro tiling, a bath with a shower and glass screen, and a wall hung washbasin console and WC. Opposite the bathroom there’s a door and stairs down to a 97 sq ft cellar that’s fitted out as a utility room.

Outside, the sunny west-facing garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a low-maintenance space with a smart paved terrace and a large gravelled area surrounded by mature planting.

A word from the owner...

"Welcome to my beautiful two bedroom garden flat, in the heart of Stoke Newington. When I bought (back in 2014), the flat was rather tired and needed a full refurb. I worked with an architect to create the home i'd always imagined living in. A rear extension was added, and the whole flat was renovated. I love the oak flooring throughout, and the light and airy feel. The big sliding doors at the rear allow loads of light to flood in, and bring the outside into the living space. It has modern elements (under floor heating, a contemporary kitchen), but also retains the original Victorian features (such as beautiful ceiling roses in both bedrooms). I've loved living here. Benthal Road is a quiet and leafy street with a community feel. You're close to both Church Street, as well as Clapton/Dalston/Hackney. It's an amazing location. I hope you enjoy!"
