2 bed flat to rent

Coolhurst Road, London N8

Set slightly back from the tree-lined calm of Coolhurst Road, this architect-designed apartment unfolds within a Victorian building framed by elevated green views. Inside, generous ceiling heights and original proportions create an immediate sense of space, while carefully considered interventions bring the home firmly into the present.

The kitchen sets a confident tone, with bespoke German Hacker design that pairs soft beige hues and crisp white cabinetry with a marble splashback. Integrated Neff appliances – including a steam oven and combination microwave – ensure everyday cooking feels effortless. Beyond a soundproofed pocket door, the reception room offers a calm retreat. Ornate cornicing, parquet flooring and a cast-iron fireplace nod to the home’s heritage, while bespoke cabinetry and a Heals sofa introduce a contemporary sensibility. A generous dining area comfortably seats six, positioned to take full advantage of the light drawn in through a wall of French windows.

These open directly onto a private terrace, bathed in morning sun and wrapped in greenery. Exceptionally tranquil, it’s a rare outdoor extension of the living space – ideal for breakfast, remote working or long evenings spent cooking on the BBQ, with a chiminea and fire pit for cooler nights. The garden stretches on beyond, leading to a further communal green space.

The principal bedroom is serene and well-proportioned, anchored by a large bay window and a green velvet Soho Home bed. Tall integrated wardrobes offer ample storage, while the en suite bathroom is finished in wall-to-wall Fired Earth tiles, complete with underfloor heating and a bathtub with overhead shower. The second bedroom is equally inviting, with a fireplace, window seat and abundant natural light, served by a separate shower room. Located on the lower ground level, the home additionally benefits from a dedicated utility room with a washing machine and dryer.
