2 bedroom apartment

Architecture & Interior

Shepperton Road school (renamed Chaplin House) was converted in the mid 2000s into a series of spacious residential units. This duplex apartment has beautiful original Victorian sash school windows, a wonderful asset to the property.

Up on the first floor of the building, natural light is thrown throughout the day and is incredibly private as you are not overlooked. As you enter the apartment, bedroom 2 is on your left & is currently arranged as a guest bedroom & study. Adjacent is a separate guest W/C and a huge storage cupboard, perfect for any large items.

Further inside, it opens up into a beautiful open-plan reception room. Original tall victorian sash windows throw in great light, curating a relaxing living space. The kitchen situated at one end, includes fully integrated appliances and cleverly utilises storage and counter-top space.

Upstairs onto the top floor mezzanine, the principle bedroom has an airy and spacious feel, with plenty of space for an additional work area, and built-in wardrobes, a rarity now in more modern developments. A family bathroom completes the apartment, and includes bath w/ overhead shower, wash basin and W/C.

The property benefits from a private parking space, a rarity this close to central London. On average private parking spaces in this area rent out for around £175-£200 per month, making it a great earner if you do not have a car.

Outside

Chaplin House’s communal areas are exceptionally well kept, with clean-cut grass, shrubs and paths. There is also shared bike storage, secure fob gate & building entry and lifts to all floors.

In The neighbourhood

Perfectly positioned for the delights of both Old Street and Upper Street, Islington, New North Road takes you in either direction. Old Street underground (Northern Line) and the start of Shoreditch are under 15 minutes walk and Upper Street is about the same. A vast array of restaurants, bars and pubs are all within easy reach in either direction.

Transport and connections

Numerous bus routes will take you into the City, West End or up to Dalston and beyond. Alternatively, Highbury and Islington (Victoria line) is easily accessible up New North Road. Being close to the canal allows you to cycle safely across to Angel, London Fields or Victoria Park all in a matter of minutes.
