If you’ve been thinking about making Hackney home, this is a great place to start. Set on the upper ground floor of a handsome period conversion, this one-bedroom apartment offers 492 sq ft of well-planned, easy-to-use space, and it’s chain-free, so you can get moving without delay. With a separate reception room and a generous kitchen/diner, there’s plenty of scope to shape the flat to your taste. Step outside and you’re only a short walk from Victoria Park when you need a dose of green space. Hackney Wick and Victoria Park Village are close by too, bringing together some of East London’s favourite cafés, restaurants, bars, and cultural spots. Add to that the buzz of Chatsworth Road Market, the wide-open Hackney Marshes, and the shops and entertainment at Westfield Stratford, and you’re right in the middle of everything that makes this part of London such an exciting place to live
IF YOU LIVED HERE...
Mabley Street sits in a lively pocket between Homerton and Clapton, perfectly placed for enjoying the best of both neighbourhoods. Just a short walk away, Chatsworth Road brings together a brilliant mix of restaurants, bars, indie shops and laid-back cafés, making it a great spot for weekend wandering or grabbing something delicious on the go.
Ringed with classic black iron railings, you head up the steps to the entrance of your new home. Set on the upper ground floor of a handsome period building, the reception room sits at the front, lifted by a wide bay window that fills the space with early morning light thanks to its south-easterly aspect. A cast-iron fire surround beneath a crisp white mantelpiece creates a beautiful focal point, with built-in alcove shelving on either side ready for books, plants, or favourite pieces.
Wooden flooring runs throughout the hallway and living areas, tying the home together, while the bedroom offers a softer feel underfoot with fitted carpet. A large sash window keeps the room bright, and the painted fireplace adds a calm, cohesive note to the décor.
A couple of steps down the corridor, you’ll pass two handy built-in cupboards before reaching the kitchen/diner. Putty-coloured shaker cabinets line one wall, paired with wooden worktops and a deep Belfast sink. There’s thoughtful space for appliances, as well as room for a dining table, ideal for easy breakfasts, relaxed evenings with friends, or simply spreading out while you cook.
At the rear of the home is the bathroom: clean-lined and minimal with a claw-foot freestanding bath with a shower overhead, giving you both a long, lazy soak and a quick rinse whenever the moment calls.
WHAT ELSE?
Chatsworth Road’s Sunday Market is a hotspot for locals and really does offer something for everybody.
You’re spoilt for green space here, just behind you sits Mabley Park, but you’re only a short walk to leafy Victoria Park, Well Street Common and London Fields too.
Nearby Broadway Market hosts a popular food market on Saturdays.
Hackney Central, Homerton and Hackney Downs stations are all close by and offer Overground lines to Liverpool Street, Highbury & Islington and Stratford, with a number of local bus routes in the immediate area, adding to the ease of connectivity.

a word from the expert...
I feel right at home living in Hackney, although I’m originally from Greece. You can be anyone, wear whatever you like and always feel welcome. The multiculturalism here comes across in the diversity of the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee shops and Michelin star restaurants to beautiful parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone. Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway market are filled with great community energy, international delicacies and local artisan creations. For dog lovers, the marshes are beautiful for afternoon and weekend walks with your four-legged friends. And while you’re there, you can stop by the river Lea at the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch, or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer. Properties in the area vary from characterful Victorian and Georgian houses to charming local authority red-brick blocks and beautifully designed modern developments with communal roof terraces. I have found my home in Hackney and it holds a very special place in my heart. EVA BOUZAKI HACKNEY BRANCH MANAGER

Our Local Guide:
Hackney
Where do you start with Hackney? It can feel like it’s all been said before, but, of course, it can’t have been because the area is constantly evolving, which is what keeps it so fresh. It’s just what happens when a neighbourhood has such a high population of creative innovators.
Even fans of Hackney’s scruffier edges love the imaginative ways that the area has been regenerated, with thoughtfully-designed stores, bars and coffee shops sitting comfortably alongside sleek architecture and beloved institutions such as Ridley Road Market.
Despite all this urban buzz, the area has a surprisingly large amount of green space, including Hackney Wick, Victoria Park and London Fields, which fill up with a mix of visitors and locals at weekends. Whether they go on to have food at a Michelin-starred restaurant, a pint in The Talbot or a swim in the lido, they’re all united in their love of this most unique community.

Features + Perks
Vibrant nightlife
Breweries, eclectic clubs, intimate bars, warehouse parties, world-class music venues… The only thing you probably shouldn’t expect if you visit Hackney late in the day is an early night. This part of east London attracts visitors from across the globe, but residents get to enjoy it without the dash for a night bus home.
Great Pubs
Great British pub culture is alive and well in Hackney. In fact, according to CAMRA, it’s the only London borough where the number of pubs has risen this century. With everything from traditional old boozers to gastropubs, favourites include The Victoria, The Hemingway and The Talbot.
Plenty of period property
Thanks to a property boom in London during and after the reign of Queen Victoria, the borough of Hackney has one of the highest concentrations of Victorian and Edwardian housing. Today you’ll find everything from Victorian flat conversions near Victoria Park to grand Grade II listed Georgian homes around London Fields.
Easy access to the City
City workers living in Hackney not only make a big saving on travel, they’ve got an extra push to keep fit. Although the borough covers a large area, almost all of it is a walk, jog or peddle from Liverpool Street and Bank. If that’s not possible, there are plenty of bus and train routes.
