Latitude Apartments II, London N16 5NZ

"Filled with carefully considered architectural details"

This pristine apartment sits on the second floor of Latitude Apartments, a popular residential block in Stoke Newington, north London. Renovated with incredible attention to detail, it comprises a refined, contemporary material palette, optimised natural light, and a wonderful sense of volume. The open-plan kitchen and living room faces the lush greenery of neighbouring Abney Park.

The Tour

Latitude Apartments sits on a quiet residential road in Stoke Newington, close to the village-like atmosphere of Church Street. The building is entered via a phone system, and the apartment has a designated parking space in a secure residents’ underground garage, with lift and stair access to the upper floors.

The front door opens onto a spacious entrance hall with a large cupboard to store coats and shoes. The apartment’s considered design is immediately established: crafted, untreated oak doorframes, airy proportions, and large-format engineered oak floorboards underfoot. A complementary, restrained colour scheme is adopted throughout to calming effect and amplifies the natural light brought in through vast sets of glazing.

A natural flow continues into the open-plan kitchen and living room, where floor-to-ceiling glazed doors face the park and open onto a private Juliet balcony. The kitchen is immaculate; a combination of dark lino and oak-lined plywood cabinets pairs beautifully with Caesarstone ‘Rugged Concrete’ countertops, and Bosch appliances are integrated throughout.

The adjacent bedroom is gently lit by a large east-facing window and overlooks Abney Park. The same refined selection of materials and colour has been applied here, lending the room a wonderfully restful feel. One wall is lined with storage, concealed behind a dark green Kyadrat blackout curtain.

The bathroom breaks away from the otherwise pared-back colour scheme, featuring playful Tarkett IQ vinyl flooring and camel-coloured porcelain tiles. Large mirrored cabinets provide ample storage; fixtures are from Catalano and Bette and Crosswater, and the bath has an overhead shower.

Outdoor Space

There is a communal garden at the front of the apartment, a sociable space with lawned areas and mature trees perfect for outdoor dining or peaceful reading in warmer months.

The Area

Latitude Apartments is located within easy reach of the independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs of Stoke Newington and Newington Green. Esters and Jolene are particular neighbourhood favourites. Much-loved Church Street is home to The Spence Bakery, Whole Foods and The Good Egg, as well as many other independent businesses. A short walk away is Primeur; recently described as “the perfect neighbourhood restaurant”, it serves modern European cuisine and natural wine.

There are several green spaces nearby; Abney Park & Cemetery and Clissold Park with its tennis courts, cafe, beautiful lakes, and resident deer are local favourites. Stoke Newington is very popular with young families, in part due to the number of good schools in the area.

Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction run Overground trains to Highbury & Islington, Shoreditch High Street and Stratford. Rectory Road is also nearby and runs trains to Liverpool Street in around 15 minutes.
