Benthal Road, Stoke Newington, Hackney, London, N16

Occupying the upper floors of an attractive Victorian house on one of Stoke Newington’s established residential streets, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom maisonette unfolds across the first and second floors with over 1,160 sq ft of internal space. The interiors balance character and colour with thoughtful contemporary updates, creating a home with a strong sense of individuality throughout.

INSIDE

The ground floor entrance leads up to the first floor where the main reception room spans the full width of the house. A deep bay window draws in excellent natural light while high ceilings and wide-plank timber flooring enhance the sense of volume. Bespoke shelving and cabinetry have been integrated into the room, with rich green tones giving the space warmth and character.

To the rear, the separate kitchen and dining room overlooks gardens behind. The space combines muted cabinetry, timber worktops and deep blue tiled splashbacks, while the dining area is framed by large sash windows and a bold painted ceiling. A further room on this level is currently arranged as a study with extensive bespoke joinery, though works equally well as a third bedroom.

The upper floor houses two further bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom sits beneath the eaves with excellent built-in storage and leafy rooftop views. Both bathrooms have been finished in a clean contemporary style with subway tiling and skylights bringing additional
natural light into the spaces above

NEIGHBOURHOOD & CONNECTIONS

Benthal Road sits moments from Stoke Newington common and is a short walk to Stoke Newington Church Street, one of north London’s most established neighbourhood high streets, known for its independent shops, cafés and long-standing local businesses. Dining locally is particularly strong, from the celebrated tacos at Sonora Taqueria to Japanese tapas spot Aun and much-loved South Indian restaurant Rasa, a Stoke Newington institution since 1997.

Cool, cult corner shop Londis N16 — the property’s local convenience store just a three-minute walk away — has built something of a following beyond the neighbourhood, with over 60k Instagram followers and features in GQ,
Condé Nast Traveller, The Guardian and The Times. Alongside everyday essentials, it offers everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to home cooked curries and even the occasional summer DJ set.

Clissold Park is within easy reach, while Abney Park and the wider network of green spaces stretching through Stoke Newington and towards the reservoirs provide extensive outdoor space nearby.

Transport connections are excellent with Stoke Newington Overground and Rectory Road stations both close by, providing swift links into Liverpool Street and across London via the Overground network. Numerous bus routes run along Stoke Newington High Street and Church Street connecting directly to the City, Shoreditch, Islington and the West End.
