This bright three-bedroom apartment forms part of a striking Art Deco estate, built circa 1929, with a south-facing balcony surrounded by mature communal gardens. Clissold Court is situated next to Clissold Park and within easy reach of Stoke Newington.

Entry is on the first floor, up an impressive curved communal staircase. Accommodation is on one level, with well-proportioned, light-filled rooms and the original wooden floorboards throughout. The original steel-framed windows remain in each room, with a particularly impressive curved length of glazing in the living room. To the left is an original door which opens onto a private south-facing balcony with views over the communal gardens, and in the winter when the trees have shed their leaves, it is possible to see the park too.

The living/dining room is a spacious room, easily housing a sofa and a large dining table. An ornate, original-tiled Art Deco fireplace, provides a focal point for the room. Adjacent, the contemporary galley-kitchen has a granite worktop with a white-tiled splashback and open shelves for cookbooks.

Along the hallway, with bookshelves lining one wall, there are three bedrooms. The quiet master is situated at the back of the apartment and has views over the rear communal garden where residents have traditionally hung their washing, and has a wall of bespoke fitted cupboards. The other two double bedrooms are currently used as bedrooms whilst one is also successfully used as a study. Along the corridor there is a shared family shower room.

The estate is made up of five detached three-storey blocks, some rendered and others red-brick, all with mansard roofs and the original steel-framed windows. The individual blocks and communal gardens are regularly tended to and well-maintained. There is also a welcome sense of community amongst residents who have an annual summer party in the grounds.

Clissold Court is brilliantly positioned near three green spaces; Finsbury Park, Clissold Park and the Parkland Walk, a disused railway line which has been transformed into a verdant pedestrian thoroughfare which runs from Finsbury Park to Highgate. The apartment is a short walk through the park to Stoke Newington Church Street, with its ever-increasing number of popular bars, restaurants and cafes – particularly of note is Borough Wines, Whole Foods and The Good Egg. Clissold Park has public tennis courts and a very popular café at Clissold House.

The area is very well served for primary schools. The nearby Holmleigh Primary School and Gillespie Primary School are both ‘Outstanding’. Arsenal and Manor House Underground stations (for Piccadilly Line) and Stoke Newington Rail Station (for London Overground) are approximately a mile away.
