One of the most familiar and frequently admired period buildings on Essex Road, being Grade II Listed, 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 bathroom with bath / shower unit, sits between 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.
