IF YOU LIVED HERE…

A fine example of late Victorian architecture, the front façade features red brickwork, white-painted stone accents, and decorative detailing. As part of a terrace of matching mansion blocks, it contributes to a unified and characterful streetscape with a quiet sense of grandeur.
Inside, a soft blue hallway with high ceilings and original wood floorboards sets a calm and welcoming tone. Transom windows above each door allow light to move throughout, while a built-in storage cupboard adds functionality without disrupting the flow. The layout is clear and well-connected, with all rooms accessed from the central corridor.

Natural light pours into the reception room through a wide bay sash window, illuminating walls painted in a rich mustard tone. An original fireplace with decorative tiling takes centre stage, framed by recessed shelving that balances practicality with style. Subtle details such as coving and skirting nod to the building’s heritage.
Toward the rear, the kitchen and dining area combines soft green cabinetry, brass hardware, and wooden worktops with a butler sink and red-tiled hearth. Open shelving and a large sash window enhance the airy, lived-in feel.

In the main bedroom, lavender-toned walls and dark-painted floorboards create a peaceful setting. A cast iron fireplace offers visual interest, and generous proportions give the space room to breathe. The second bedroom, in a gentle blue, shares the same tranquillity and versatility.

A warm, earthy atmosphere defines the bathroom, where terracotta tiles, natural plaster, and richly toned woodwork surround a built-in soaking tub and rainfall shower. Designed for long, restorative baths, the tub sits near a large sash window, where soft daylight filters in, adding to the calm.

The apartment is ideally placed to enjoy the best of the local area. Just around the corner, Kingsland High Street offers a lively mix of independent cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops, making it easy to tap into the energy of Dalston. The much-loved Rio Cinema is nearby, an iconic spot for film lovers with its Art Deco façade and eclectic programming. For a change of pace, green spaces like Hackney Downs and London Fields are within easy reach, offering open-air escape and space to unwind. Fontaines Bar, with its distinctive 1940s styling and intimate atmosphere, adds a touch of vintage glamour to evenings out—all part of what makes this part of London such a dynamic and engaging place to live.
