Mildmay Road III, London N1

A minute's walk from Newington Green, this bright one-bedroom apartment lies on the first floor of a handsome Victorian building, set within Islington's sought-after Newington Green Conservation Area. It has a voluminous feel, enhanced by its fresh, cohesive palette. There is a wonderful culinary scene in the local area, from the delis, restaurants and cafés around the area's namesake green to those dotted along Stoke Newington Church Street, a short walk north.



The Tour



A smart façade of London stock brick and white stucco details faces the street, and a flight of steps leads to the building's front door, which is set with ornate stained-glass panes. Entry is to a communal hallway, where stairs lead to this apartment's first-floor private entrance.



Entry is to a central hallway, where glass blocks allow light to permeate. A bright open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is at the front of the apartment, with a pair of large, south-facing sash windows framing views over the leafy street. The room has high ceilings and shelves fitted in the alcoves on either side of the chimney breast.



The kitchen has white units with earth-toned ceramic worksurfaces and zellige tiles. A kitchen island provides extra space for preparing food, while open shelves are an ideal spot for cookbooks. There is a four-ring induction hob, an integrated oven and a ceramic sink, as well as an integrated dishwasher.



The bedroom is to the rear, and is bathed in light from a large sash window with white-painted shutters. It has custom built-in wardrobes and shelves.



In the bathroom, midnight-blue joinery provides space for linens. A bathtub has an overhead shower, and walls are adorned with intricate blue and white tiling. Above the bathroom there is a generous storage area.
