Nestled within a picturesque Victorian mews development, serenely set around a charming traffic-free cobbled courtyard and moments from the vibrant heart of Stoke Newington Church Street, this exquisitely presented one-bedroom period residence radiates timeless elegance and contemporary flair.

Perched gracefully on the third floor of a well-maintained purpose-built block, the property showcases a beautifully proportioned double bedroom, a bright and inviting open-plan reception/kitchen/dining area, and a stylishly appointed bathroom — all perfectly framed by classic period detailing and sophisticated finishes.

Bathed in natural light courtesy of refurbished south-facing sash windows, the open-plan reception exudes warmth and charm, anchored by a magnificent original cast iron fireplace with decorative tiled hearth and graceful wooden mantelpiece. Stripped wooden floorboards run seamlessly throughout, accentuating the lofty ceilings and creating a sense of refined spaciousness.

The kitchen is a culinary haven, thoughtfully designed with sleek white cabinetry, rich wood block worktops, elegant tiled flooring and a striking white brick-tiled splashback. Integrated appliances, including a stainless steel oven, hob and extractor fan, complete the polished ensemble.

The serene double bedroom continues the theme of understated grandeur with its beautifully restored floorboards and sash windows offering tranquil views over the enchanting cobbled courtyard below.

Completing the home is the chic and contemporary bathroom, featuring a full-sized bathtub with overhead shower and glass screen, a classic pedestal basin and WC, framed by tastefully tiled splashbacks and flooring that harmonize with the property’s stylish aesthetic.

This truly charming residence marries heritage character with modern sophistication in one of North London's most sought-after enclaves — a rare opportunity to acquire a home of distinction and comfort in a quintessentially London setting.
