Private Balcony

With sweeping views over Hackney Downs from the eighth floor, this bright and modern one-bedroom apartment benefits from all the perks of being new. The apartment features a private balcony, modern finishes and ample storage space, while the development highlights include the residents’ gym, stylish lobby and communal garden/roof terrace.

Meanwhile, the enviable position between Clapton and Hackney means you’ve got as much access to nature as you have dynamic bars and eateries, while public transport is also excellent, putting you in easy reach of the whole capital, including 7-minute trains into the City from Hackney Downs.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Once you’ve experienced the joy of living with the park at your doorstep in such modern surroundings, there’ll be no looking back…

The open plan living space and kitchen is bursting with natural light, with beautiful flooring sweeping the length of the living space and complementing immaculate decor. You’ll quickly appreciate that there’s plenty of space for balancing all aspects of life – entertaining will be particularly enjoyable thanks to the smart kitchen area, which has glossy units and integrated Smeg appliances.

You’ll love having the eighth floor view - it creates an excellent sense of space and privacy, not to mention the fact that living at height can be very energy efficient. Since your balcony is east facing, it’ll be particularly nice to have your morning coffee in the sun, although of course you’ve also got the communal gardens and roof terrace to make use of, plus the gym just a few floors down.

The bedroom is just as immaculate with neutral decor, soft carpeting and custom in-built wardrobe storage. The bathroom is as smart and contemporary as you’d expect, with sparkling tiling, a wall recessed toilet and a walk-in shower. You’ve got more smart storage solutions here too, as well as in the spacious hallway.

Beyond the Otto, you’ve got some of Hackney’s top-rated food spots right on your doorstep, from the dim sum institution My Neighbours the Dumplings and much lauded Vietnamese Hai Cafe to eclectic brewery Blondies and top-rated coffee shop Lodestar. You’ve even got one of London’s coolest movie theatres, the Castle Cinema, less than a mile away. As well as these much-loved haunts, you’ll find exciting new ventures constantly cropping up and keeping you on your toes, so exploring will never get boring.

WHAT ELSE?

- Despite the urban buzz, this area has a surprisingly large amount of green space nearby. As well as Hackney Downs Park, Millfields Park, Hackney Marshes, London Fields, and Clissold Park are walking distance.
- Transport is plentiful in the area with some excellent bus routes nearby, including the 55 into central London, as well as Hackney Downs station, which is served by the Overground route to Liverpool Street. Clapton station is a similar distance.
- While unpacking might call for a pizza delivery from the nearby Yard Sale, Japanese restaurant Uchi would be the perfect spot to head to for a celebratory moving in meal. The sushi served up here is so aesthetically pleasing that you almost wouldn’t want to eat it, except it’s of course too delicious not to. Definitely worth the splurge.

a word from the owner...

"Living right by Hackney Downs Park has been an absolute joy. Having so much greenery at our doorstep, combined with the community spirit at the Otto and plenty of options for foodies and coffee lovers, has made this place really feel like home. There’s something special about being able to step out and have several vast green spaces to explore for a Sunday stroll (Hackney Marshes and Clissold Park are top favourites), as well as the option to hit the tennis courts in the Downs or find quiet spots for a morning coffee. What I’ve loved most is the blend of nature and city life – local cafes, charming pubs, and some fantastic restaurants are just a short walk or cycle away. On weekends, you can wander over to Broadway Market or Chatsworth Market, both vibrant and full of energy, with great finds and food to try. The Otto itself is more than just a building, it’s a unique community. Neighbours here look out for each other, and our wonderful concierge always offers a warm hello or helping hand. It’s a rare, tight-knit vibe for London, and something I’ll miss a lot. Lastly, the convenience is unbeatable – I’ll miss the morning walks through the park to catch the overground, which takes you quickly into the City. It's been the perfect mix of peaceful park life and city buzz. I know the next owner will love it here as much as I have."
