Built c.1837, this former schoolhouse in Stoke Newington, north London, has been beautifully reimagined to create an elegant home. It unfolds over two light-filled storeys and has three peaceful bedrooms on its lower level. An open-plan living space with an adjoining patio dominates the upper level, where a vaulted ceiling and the soaring windows of the former school chapel remain in situ. The ever-popular shops, cafés and pubs of Stoke Newington are within easy reach of Leswin Road.
