2 bed flat for sale

Green Lanes, Newington Green, London N16

A well-presented two bedroom, one bathroom period conversion of 601 sq ft, arranged over the ground and lower ground floors of a London stock brick building on Green Lanes, N16. Offered chain free, the flat is neatly planned and comfortably finished. It also has the real benefit of its own private decked garden, reached directly from the kitchen.

Stepping inside from the shared communal entrance, a staircase leads down to the main living space on the lower ground floor. The reception room extends to fourteen feet, with wood-effect flooring, recessed spotlights and shelving set into the alcoves. It opens through to a kitchen of almost twelve feet, fitted with cream Shaker-style units, glazed display cabinets and wooden worktops. There is a ceramic sink with a swan-neck mixer tap, a gas hob with extractor and a Beko oven, and a Bosch washing machine sits beneath the counter. A door leads straight out to the garden, so the space works as well for a quiet night in as it does for eating outside on summer evenings.

The principal bedroom lies at the front of the lower ground floor and measures almost fourteen feet. It has a full wall of fitted wardrobes, plantation shutters to the window and recessed lighting. The second bedroom, to the rear, is a single and would work equally well as a guest room, nursery or study. Back on the ground floor, the bathroom is tiled to full height in grey. It has a bath with a shower over and a glass screen, a wall-hung basin and a chrome heated towel rail.

Chain free and well kept throughout, this is an ideal home for first-time buyers and investors alike.

Green Lanes sits in N16, within the London Borough of Islington, with Newington Green and Clissold Park both within easy reach. It is a characterful, lively part of north London. It suits buyers who want green space and a good café and restaurant scene close to home, with an easy run into the City.

For commuters, Canonbury station is close by on the London Overground. Mildmay line services run east to Stratford, and Windrush line services run south through Shoreditch High Street. A choice of bus routes serves the City, Angel and the West End. Newington Green has a cluster of cafés, restaurants and independent shops, and the delis and eateries of Stoke Newington Church Street are a little further on. The wide green spaces of Clissold Park are close at hand.
