Poets Road, Newington Green, Islington, London N5

An inviting two-bedroom garden apartment occupying the lower ground floor of a handsome Victorian house on Poets Road. It enjoys its own entrance and a well-connected setting close to
Newington Green.

Thoughtfully finished throughout, the home pairs period character with a light-filled rear living space opening directly onto a wonderfully leafy private garden.
Inside


A private entrance opens into a hallway connecting the accommodation, with a useful store and utility area at the front.

The generous front bedroom, currently arranged as a living room by the owner, has a broad bay window fitted with shutters, timber floorboards
and decorative wall panelling. Deep blue tones create a restful atmosphere, while a feature fireplace with a patterned tiled hearth sits
between fitted alcove shelving, cabinetry and a desk.

The second double bedroom sits centrally, with built-in storage and glazed double doors opening onto a small enclosed courtyard. This brings light into the room and provides a pleasing outlook onto planting and exposed brickwork.

At the rear, the open-plan kitchen and living space forms the heart of the home. A large rooflight and wide bifolding doors draw in natural light, with pale tiled flooring and soft green cabinetry complementing the garden beyond. The kitchen combines generous cupboard space with light worktops, a ceramic Belfast sink, a fitted oven and hob, and a
wine cooler. A timber-topped island provides additional preparation space and breakfast-bar seating, while the adjoining area offers room
for relaxing and dining.

The doors fold back to connect the interior with the garden, where shallow stone steps lead to a seating area framed by mature bamboo, palms and established planting. Brick walls and timber screening add texture and a sense of seclusion, creating a lovely setting for outdoor dining. A shed provides further storage.

The shower room is finished with rich green wall tiles, patterned flooring and a timber vanity beneath a countertop basin. A broad shower
enclosure, rainfall showerhead and heated towel rail complete the space
