Mildmay Road, London N1

Excellently positioned just off north London's much-loved Newington Green, this bright two-bedroom apartment has a wonderful sense of volume throughout. The spaces unfold across the raised ground floor of a Victorian terrace, flowing towards a private decked terrace at the rear. Newington Green and its wealth of cafés, delis and bars, is a one-minute walk away, while Stoke Newington's Church Street is 20 minutes away. The beautiful green spaces of Clissold Park are also within easy reach.

The Tour

Positioned on the raised ground floor of a handsome Victorian terrace, the apartment is characterised by high ceilings and a simple white palette throughout. The primary living space lies at the front of the plan and has beautiful original sash windows framed by wooden shutters. There is ample space here for a dining area, and the current owners also use it as a workspace, exemplifying the room's versatility. The hallway outside is home to useful high-level storage and provides access to the bathroom.

At the centre of the plan is the kitchen, which makes excellent use of space: storage is created by L-shaped white cabinetry above and below, while oak countertops provide ample worksurfaces. A window over the sink welcomes light in and ensures the space is brilliantly bright. The versatile landing space outside is currently home to further storage and a standing desk area.

Both bedrooms are light, bright spaces. The main bedroom is positioned in the middle of the plan and is flooded with light that enters through an original sash window, which also frames views over trees beyond. The space has the same high ceilings as the front living room, with an alcove where further storage can be added. The second bedroom is currently used as a study; this has direct access to the decked terrace and makes for a peaceful retreat at the rear of the plan.

Outdoor Space

The apartment has a charming decked terrace, where there is plenty of space for a seating area. Greenery is provided by ivy that tumbles over the back wall, with additional room for some artfully curated potted plantings. Steps lead down to a lower section of the garden with a shed for storage; there is also private rear access here.
