IF YOU LIVED HERE...

First impressions are instantly impressive. Step past your handsome brick frontage into your upper ground floor and artfully distressed original timber floorboards run underfoot in your hallway, flowing on into the 270 square foot through lounge on the right. An elevated, knee-to-ceiling to ceiling bay window illuminates the space, filling it all with natural light. Twin vintage hearths complete the aesthetic.

To the rear you have a handily segmented WC plus a truly inspired family bathroom, a Crittal style rainfall shower cubicle contrasts with a freestanding clawfoot tub, an open, fully operational period hearth and white metro tiling – a brilliant blend of the classic and contemporary. Down to the lower ground floor and you have a delectable study, handy utility room and your kitchen, a striking affair with violet vinyl flooring and matching glossy cabinets.

Now at garden level you can step outside to an extensive patio and lawn, framed by productive beds filled with mature seasonal fruit bushes, wild garlic and rhubarb with perennial cottage garden flowers and herbs. The garden is barely overlooked with nothing but sky on the horizon. Upstairs now for the sleeping arrangements, and your principal bedroom to the front is a very generous double of 175 square feet, with vintage timber shutters on the oversized sash windows, and fitted wardrobes either side of the chimney breast. Both remaining bedrooms are substantial doubles, and white washed timber floors flow throughout.

Outside and you're well-served for nature, with both the landscaped greenery of Hackney Downs Park and the wild open expanse of Hackney Marshes within easy reach. Ideal for morning jogs, evening strolls or just endless escapes from city life. Clapton station is fifteen minutes on foot or five by bike (your street features secure bike hangers). From here it's just thirteen minutes direct to Liverpool Street or five to Walthamstow Central.
