Cazenove Road III, Flat 2, 74, Cazenove Road, London N16

This refined two-bedroom apartment lies on the upper ground floor of a handsome Victorian conversion in Stoke Newington’s Conservation Area. Carefully appointed, its light-filled interiors are defined by lofty ceilings with original period detailing and a thriving garden that unfolds at the rear. Stoke Newington High Street and Church street are in easy walking distance as is Stoke Newington Overground station.

The Tour

Cazenove Road is pretty residential street peppered with mature London plane trees. The house on which this apartment lies is set back from the street and approached via a paved foot path. A short set of steps leads to a black-painted door opening onto a communal lobby on the ground floor where the apartment entrance is found.

Throughout this home, white-washed walls and double-height ceilings enhance the impression of volume, paired with oak floorboards in warm tones. Original period features have been carefully retained, including cornices, ceiling roses and impressive fireplaces.

From the entrance, the plan unfolds to a spacious double reception room. The left side currently serves as the principal bedroom, with two French doors that open onto a south-east facing private balcony with outdoor seating space, which in turn leads down to the garden.

A substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room lies at the front of the plan, framed by an original bay window with a fitted storage bench seat.

Stretching the breath of the room is a bespoke farmhouse kitchen with white cabinets and black granite work surfaces. A generous ceramic butler sink sits in the centre and integrated appliances include a gas hob and oven. Overhead open shelving and dish racks add plenty of additional storage.

The second bedroom sits at the rear of the plan, thoughtfully finished with white-washed walls and floorboards. Storage space is provided by a generous built-in wardrobe. A tall sash window frames serene views of the treetops while a black, cast-iron fireplace provides a striking focal point.

Recently updated, the shared bathroom has a walk-in shower with a Crittall-style screen, a white tiled splashback and black matt fittings. The vanity unit is complemented by mirrored storage, and marble tiles run underfoot.

There is a demised off-road parking space at the front of the building.

Outdoor Space

Double french doors open onto a private south-east facing balcony with an inviting seating area. From here, a short set of step descends to a path that leads to a secret rear garden with cobbled paving throughout.

Bordered by mature planting, this restorative outdoor space feels private and quiet. Flower beds are well-stocked with the likes of hydrangeas, fuchsias, coleus and lavender, offering a colourful backdrop across the season.

The Area

The apartment is in the centre of Stoke Newington, close to both Stoke Newington High Street and Church Street, with an almost endless choice of independent shops, restaurants, pubs, and cafés.

Neighbourhood favourites include Rasa for excellent south Indian vegetarian food, The Good Egg for brunch, and The Auld Shillelagh for arguably the best pint of Guinness in the area. The local Whole Foods branch is conveniently located just a short walk away from the house, as is Stoke Newington Bookshop. A much-loved farmers’ market opens every Saturday in front of St Paul’s Church, with a wide range of organic produce. Luminary Bakery is the perfect catch-up coffee spot after a class at nearby Yogahome.

There are plenty of green spaces within walking distance, including Clissold, Abney and Springfield parks.

Newington Green is also within walking distance and home to local favourites Jolene, Cadet, and Primeur. Dalston is to the south of Stoke Newington High Street and home to the likes of live music bar Mu, from the team behind Brilliant Corners, Mangal II, and The Dusty Knuckle.

Stoke Newington station is close by and runs regular London Overground services to Liverpool Street and Seven Sisters. Several bus routes run into the surrounding area and into central London.
