ABNEY PARK LONDON, N16

about

This beautifully renovated Victorian townhouse in Stoke Newington, north London, blends period character with calm, contemporary elegance. Reimagined throughout by architecture and interior design studio Magri Williams, the home pairs original detailing with a restrained material palette of microcement, light oak and marble, creating a soft, neutral backdrop that is both warm and versatile. The atmosphere is considered and pared back, lending itself to a wide variety of shoot settings — from clean, editorial stills to warmer lifestyle and family scenarios. While some areas may benefit from additional dressing, the house offers a wealth of opportunities for distinctive and memorable shoots.

The four-storey property features generous proportions, beautifully preserved Victorian detailing on the upper floors, and a strong connection to its garden. A full-width rear extension wraps around a rectangular feature planter, with a six-metre sliding glass door, two semi-circular rooflights and overhanging eaves drawing shifting patterns of natural light deep into the plan. Light filters through the foliage and across textured microcement surfaces throughout the day, giving the interiors a quiet, ever-changing quality that is particularly appealing for creative use.

  • Lower Ground Floor: A bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and family space anchored by an oversized marble island, with microcement walls and floors flowing seamlessly out to the garden. Includes a utility room and a children’s playroom, all linked by the same continuous finish.
  • Ground Floor: A refined lounge featuring a bespoke sculptural marble fireplace and integrated TV unit, alongside a study. Light oak, marble and traditional detailing create a softer, more characterful atmosphere on this level.
  • First Floor: The principal bedroom suite, complete with a custom fabric-upholstered headboard and an en-suite bathroom featuring a sculptural marble sink and bespoke stone vanity.
  • Upper Floor: Further bedrooms and bathroom across the top two floors, offering flexible accommodation (including two beautifully designed toddler girls’ bedrooms and a neutral spare bedroom which could be used for hair & make up). 
  • Garden: A south facing, landscaped rear garden with a built-in bench and full-spec outdoor kitchen facing the feature planter offer a quiet, green outlook that doubles as a secluded exterior set.
