Grayling Road, London, N16

Set on one of Stoke Newington’s most desirable residential streets, this meticulously refurbished Victorian residence extends just shy of 2,400 sq ft and offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a wealth of design-led living space arranged over five levels. Located on Grayling Road, moments from Church Street’s vibrant independent scene and within reach of several Outstanding-rated schools, this rare home combines timeless character with every modern convenience.

Behind its elegantly repointed yellow-brick façade, framed by anthracite sash windows and a solid wood front door, the house opens to a beautifully restored interior that honours its period roots while embracing modern technology and lifestyle. The front garden, laid in pale porcelain with contemporary fencing and a block pathway, leads to a grand entrance hall featuring a black-and-white tiled floor, cast iron radiator, wall panelling, and a custom wood staircase with stair rods.

To the raised ground floor, a formal reception room sits to the front with a bay window, cast iron fireplace, ornate coving, and crystal chandeliers, flowing through to a versatile study or sixth bedroom with herringbone flooring and integrated cabling. A sleek shower room with black fittings and large-format tiling completes this level.

The lower ground floor has been opened up and extended to create a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with full-height bi-fold doors opening to the garden. A navy shaker kitchen with real wood cabinetry, brushed gold hardware and quartz tops is fully integrated with premium Neff and AEG appliances. A bespoke walk-in pantry and utility room is cleverly concealed, while an oak-topped media wall with fireplace adds warmth and focus to the living space. Additional highlights include 80x80 tiled flooring with underfloor heating, app-controlled lighting, ceiling speakers and a triple-glazed skylight.

To the first floor rear, a generous double bedroom enjoys leafy outlooks and is served by a contemporary family shower room. The first floor front is devoted to a luxurious principal suite with a large bay window, side aspect, walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed en-suite featuring Calacatta tiling, brass fixtures, mosaic recesses and a rainfall shower.

The top floor comprises three further bedrooms. Two are bright, full double rooms with French-opening windows, while the fifth bedroom—set beneath twin Velux windows—is ideal as a bedroom, playroom, or home office. A stylish family bathroom with light grey tiles and Grohe fixtures completes the upper level.

Outside, a two-tier landscaped rear garden offers the perfect backdrop for entertaining, with porcelain paving, a serene water feature, integrated lighting and mature planting.
This property is comprehensively upgraded with full Cat 6 cabling, a mesh Wi-Fi system, black oak internal doors, USB sockets throughout, Hive-controlled heating, and a new Valliant boiler with hot water cylinder.

Grayling Road is a peaceful, tree-lined street rich in character and history. Developed in the late 19th century during Stoke Newington’s transformation from rural village to bustling suburb, it once housed the Hitchens Fire Proof Plastering Company’s Grayling Works, reflecting the area’s industrial heritage. Today, the street is loved for its cohesive Victorian architecture and community feel.

The location is particularly sought after by families thanks to its proximity to several highly regarded schools, including Grazebrook Primary (Ofsted Outstanding), Betty Layward Primary, and Stoke Newington School and Sixth Form. Church Street, with its blend of artisan cafes, independent boutiques, organic grocers, and destination restaurants, is just moments away. Clissold Park provides green open space, a playground, tennis courts and a small zoo, while Abney Park Cemetery and the Woodberry Wetlands offer peaceful walking routes and nature on your doorstep.

Stoke Newington Overground Station is within easy reach, offering direct links to Liverpool Street, and numerous bus routes provide excellent connections across North and Central London. This is a truly exceptional opportunity to own a turnkey Victorian home in one of the capital’s most characterful and connected neighbourhoods.
