THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Set across the ground floor of a Victorian end-of-terrace in Stoke Newington, this two-bedroom conversion flat makes clever use of its footprint. The home’s design is an elegant synthesis of style and practicality, with storage beautifully integrated into the architecture throughout. The main living area is spacious and adaptable — easily partitioned to create a second bedroom when life requires — while the basement provides a tranquil space to work.

At the back, the kitchen opens onto the garden, creating a sense of flow between inside and out. Just beyond, the principal bedroom sits within a garden extension — providing a rare pocket of peace for London. Here, a picture window overlooks the greenery, bespoke joinery keeps everything streamlined, and a nearby bathroom completes the retreat-like feel. The garden itself is fully decked with thoughtful edge planting and, at the far end, there is a pint-sized studio — ideal for creative pursuits.

Life here means being moments from Clissold Park. And Church Street is close by for morning coffee and slow strolls to its independent cafés and shops. The area's buses, trains and cycle routes make getting around London refreshingly straightforward.

THE OWNERS SAY

We really enjoy the easy access to Stoke Newington's Church Street, while at the same time having the community feel and tranquillity of Hawksley Road. The garden, in particular, is so lovely and peaceful, despite being so central. Overall, we love the village feel of Stoke Newington and being so close to Clissold Park.

In the flat itself, the way the sunlight hits the kitchen through the skylights and the long view through the flat from the garden are two of our favourite aspects. Plus, all the fantastic built-in storage is a bonus. The flat is a really special place and we will have loved living here.

1 The Spence Bakery

This place is bread heaven! All baked on the premises, the vibe is stripped back simplicity – it’s a great pitstop for coffee and cake while you pick up your morning loaf. Arrive early though to avoid disappointment; they do tend to sell out of the favourites (the seeded rye is ours) by the afternoon.

2 Nook

Beautiful interiors and lifestyle store on Church Street, stocking some of our favourite homeware brands. One of our go-to's!

3 The Good Egg

Delicious bagels and babkas. Need we say more!

4 The Clarence Tavern

This steller pub was recently highlighted as one of the best roasts in the country by The Observer magazine. Excellent food and wine, right next to Clissold Park.

5 Escocesa

With an exciting mix of Spanish mains and fresh Scottish seafood in chic industrial setting, this is our favourite spot for taking friends and family for a special night out without leaving the area. As you enter, stools around a bar look over the open kitchen with chefs preparing oysters and scallops. At the back, a relaxed but stylish restaurant serves wonderfully modern Spanish dishes. Encantamous!
