Stonegrove, Edgware, HA8

High atop a discreet 1970s purpose-built block, Flat 20 at Coniston Court quietly guards its secret: a sprawling, light-soaked, three-bedroom penthouse of rare proportions. Understated from the outside, the apartment is anything but within. It offers over 1,800 sq. ft. of open, lateral living space, brimming with possibility and saturated in sunlight, waiting patiently for its next chapter.

Owned by the same family since its inception, the apartment carries a quiet reverence: its bones intact, its layout generous, and its spirit bold. While modernisation is needed, the sense of scale, light, and architectural intention is immediately arresting. With vision and care, this is a space that could be truly extraordinary.

Upon entry, a modest coat cupboard and decorative shelving mark the transition from the outside world: a deliberate threshold between the city’s pace and the calm expanse that lies beyond. Turn the corner, and the apartment opens dramatically: a semi-formal, self-contained lobby with seating and a decorative screen offers a moment of quiet pause before giving way to the main living quarters. Beyond, a vast lounge and dining space, flanked by panoramic windows framing suburbia and the Tudor silhouettes of Canons Drive, leads out to a wraparound roof terrace, welcoming you with a quiet gasp. The room’s retro charm speaks of a different era, yet its scale and light are timeless. Off to the side, a separate utility room with its own terrace access practically demands transformation into a sleek bar or kitchenette.

The kitchen, a bold statement in enamelled red, is equal parts kitsch and character, but offers space, brightness, and modern Miele appliances. There’s even room for a breakfast nook.

In the private quarters, the first bedroom, currently calibrated as a snug, overlooks landscaped grounds from its own private balcony. The main bedroom is impressively large, adjoined by a vast en-suite with real potential for a luxury retreat. The third and final double bedroom, smaller but bright, completes the layout, alongside a quirky split-level family bathroom, its raised tub and shower offering unexpected charm.

Outside, one private garage accompanies the property, with Stonegrove Park directly opposite, offering green serenity at your doorstep.

This apartment isn’t flawless, and it doesn’t pretend to be. But what it lacks in modern polish, it repays in light, layout, and limitless potential. It is a space to be reinvented, rediscovered, and once again, adored.
