A beautifully presented three double bedroom upper maisonette set across three spacious levels, converted from an attractive period property and ideally positioned on a quiet residential road close to the heart of Canonbury and Newington Green. Offering excellent natural light, generous proportions and flexible living space, this superb home combines character features with stylish modern upgrades including double glazed wooden sash windows amongst new kitchen and bathroom, making it ideal for professionals, families or those seeking work-from-home space in a highly desirable North London location.
Recently modernised throughout, the property benefits from a newly fitted contemporary kitchen and bathroom, quality wood flooring and excellent storage. A significant additional advantage is the approved planning permission for a dormer extension to the loft room, creating the opportunity for a substantial principal bedroom suite with a second bathroom/shower room, further enhancing both lifestyle appeal and future value.
The elegant front reception room is a standout feature, boasting high ceilings, a striking exposed brick chimney breast and a large south-facing bay window flooding the room with natural light. Semi-open plan to the reception is the stylish modern kitchen with integrated appliances and fitted cabinetry, creating an ideal entertaining and living space. A separate utility cupboard provides plumbing for a washing machine and houses the boiler.
To the rear of the first floor are two generous double bedrooms alongside the recently completed bathroom/WC. The staircase rises to an impressive loft room/third bedroom offering extensive eaves storage and exceptional versatility as a guest room, home office, studio or future principal suite should the dormer conversion be implemented.
The property is offered with a share of freehold and occupies the entire first floor together with the converted loft space, providing flexible accommodation perfectly suited to modern living.
