2 bedroom flat for sale

One of the most familiar and frequently admired
period buildings on Essex Road, this stunning
first and second floor two double bedroom
apartment sits at the end of a popular crescent.

A first and second floor maisonette apartment,
nestled at the end of a stunning period crescent. The property is approached via a short path
through a communal style garden and up
shallow steps to the shared entrance hall.

On entering Flat B, a short turning staircase
leads to the first floor and onto a fully fitted
kitchen and large open-plan dining and sitting
room. This latter principal reception room has
large triple pane French style windows opening
onto a cast-iron Juliet balcony with westerly
views. The room enjoys afternoon and evening
sun. The room is fitted with shelving to either
side of a central chimney stack, with traditional
Victorian fireplace and ornate decorative tile
surround. This room has impressive ceiling
height of 3m, affording a light and airy feel,
ideal for entertaining.

The separate kitchen is fully fitted with
integrated appliances and has a large sash
window with East facing views to the rear. The
central heating boiler is contained here, the
room could also accommodate a small breakfast
table and chairs and American style fridge
freezer, as required. The kitchen cabinets and
surfaces could do with some modernisation,
offering the opportunity for the purchaser to
add one’s own interior design choices, although
it should be stipulated that the existing cabinets
remain fit for purpose.

A further turning staircase leads to the second-floor landing. This is sufficiently large to accommodate a wardrobe. The landing has potential to add a secondary staircase to a proposed third floor mansard roof extension, subject to the receipt of planning
consent and permission from the freeholder.
This enlargement would potentially create a
three bedroom, three-bathroom home adding
to the overall square footage, likely totalling
1,260 sq ft once competed. This would all be at
additional costs to the purchase price of course.
The spacious principal double bedroom has
West facing views and fitted wardrobes
surrounding the head rest and to one end of the
room.

At present there is a large walk-in utility
/ airing cupboard in the principal bedroom,
but with some adaption we believe this could
be converted into an en-suite shower room, if
required.

A separate recently modernised family

the two double bedrooms. It is decorated to
a high standard. A further double bedroom
to the rear of the property, enjoys East facing
views on the property's quieter side. In all, a
well presented home with plenty of scope for
enlargement, in a central Islington location.
