2 Bedroom Flat, Gibson Gardens, London, N16

The award-winning East London architects Emil Eve have designed the property to enhance its period features and clever use of space, all of which add to the enjoyment of living in the flat.

Unlike other flats in the mansion block, it is open-plan, which makes perfect sense, as it combines two large windows and creates a more sociable living space.

The period features that run throughout the property, including wooden floors and high ceilings, have been tastefully combined with a modern twist, such as underfloor heating and a fully integrated kitchen with a dishwasher.

Both bedrooms are versatile depending on your requirements, and the master bedroom further benefits from an alcove large enough for a freestanding double wardrobe.

The bathroom, similar to the rest of the property, is finished to a high standard and has a full-length bath.

In the hallway, there is a storage cupboard where the washing machine is, and it has space for your everyday items. Also, above the front door, there is a further nook and cranny storage area.

Then there is the attic accessed via a pull-down ladder, which runs the length and width of the property, allowing you to store your larger personal items.

The communal gardens are two-fold; each entrance to the mansion block has a more private seating area, and then there are the larger gardens, both ideal for a meal or drinks outside.

Owner’s Comments:

The best of Stoke Newington is right on your doorstep - with one of the area's best coffee shops downstairs, excellent independent food shops moments away, and the beautiful Abney Park Cemetery directly opposite for peaceful walks among nature.

Clissold Park is also just a short stroll away, offering one of London's loveliest green spaces.

There's a fantastic sense of community here, too.

It's genuinely the best area I've ever lived in, and I will be very sad to leave it.
