Cazenove Road, London N16

Occupying the top floor of a handsome, detached Victorian building in Stoke Newington, lies this bright one bedroom apartment. With it's south-facing balcony and minimal, clean architectural lines, the apartment's neutral aesthetic instills a feeling of calm and serenity. Positioned within the Cazenove Conservation Area, the building sits a few minutes walk from Stoke Newington Church Street, with its independent shops and popular array of restaurants.



The Tour



Cazenove Road is a predominantly residential street peppered with mature London plane trees. A grand communal entranceway, reached via a short set of steps, opens onto a staircase that ascends to the xx floor where this apartment lies.



Grounded in light oak floorboards, the entrance immediately opens onto an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, illuminated by sliding glazed doors that look across a generous balcony and treetops beyond.



The kitchen is cleverly zoned via a central island, topped with timber worksurfaces and understated white cabinetry. A sash window over the sink draws further light while framing a pretty vantage point positioned over the rooftops.



The bedroom lies on the opposite side of the plan with bespoke, floor to ceiling wardrobes for storage. The bathroom, with step in shower, sits adjacent, finished in a monochrome palette with traditional checkered flooring completing the apartment's pared back, minimal aesthetic.



Outdoor Space



Streching the breadth of the living spaces lies a balcony with uninterrupted views across the treetops that line Cazenove Road ahead. Its south-facing orientation means it receives direct sunlight throughout the day with plenty of space for planting opportunities.



The house itself is set back from the street behind thick, leafy hedging, allowing for a well-tended communal garden area at the front. Well tended by the residents, it offers the perfect spot to plant and grow vegetables, or host a barbecue on a hot summer's day.



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.



Popular with young families, there are great schooling options in the area, including Betty Layward Primary and Clissold School.



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.
