Beautifully Presented Throughout

Located amongst the buzzing action of Hackney Central within a timeless mansion block, this one-bedroom apartment has been artfully finished, with beautiful design flourishes throughout and an abundance of natural light thanks to the large windows and second floor positioning.

You probably don’t need reminding of the fact that the amenities and transport links around this part of London are top-class, too.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Coming in at just under 550 square feet, the layout of this apartment has been incredibly well planned, offering a surprising amount of space, as well as high ceilings and those fantastically solid walls that this era of mansion block is celebrated for.

The reception is full of natural light which perfectly showcases the neutral walls and engineered flooring. You’ll love the little design touches such as the exposed brickwork, which separates the reception room from the kitchen, allowing light to flow throughout while still maintaining two separate areas. The kitchen has traditional features, such as the fireplace alcove, which balance beautifully with the modern updates like the metro brick tiling and ply carpentry. There’s space for a table, too, so hosting will be a joy.

The bedroom is just as stylish, with more neutral decor and bespoke carpentry. The modern bathroom has been just a masterfully designed, with floor to ceiling metro brick tiling and more custom ply, and the separate WC will be convenient.

Sylvester House boasts a large south facing community courtyard for the benefit of all residents to relax in and enjoy. It's landscaped and managed by the tenants and residents association (TRA) and they welcome all residents to partake in regular gardening and maintenance.

As for beyond, this is a brilliantly thriving part of Hackney, with incredibly easy access to London Fields, Clapton, Dalston and Victoria Park. Your local pub is the wonderfully iconic Pembury Tavern, while The Vincent is just as close and will be your go-to for brunch. A similar distance away you’ll find Casa Fofo - a great spot for fine dining. Even meat eaters will love Temple of Seitan, a renowned vegan restaurant five minutes away.

Transport is plentiful in this area with some excellent bus routes nearby, including the 55 and 38 into central London, as well as Hackney Central station, which is served by the Overground, being exactly 100m from the flat and less than a 5min walk.

WHAT ELSE?
- The Hackney Picturehouse cinema is just four minutes away on foot and has a brilliant selection of blockbusters and indies alike, as well as a great cafe bar. The legendary Hackney Empire is also nearby.
- Despite all the urban buzz, this area has a surprisingly large amount of green space. London Fields is strolling distance, with its much-loved lido. Victoria Park is a short stretch further - and home to some internationally renowned festivals including All Points East Festival and Field Day.
- If you want to ramp up your nightlife, you’ll be delighted to find that MOTH club and Oslo are close by - two excellent live music venues.

a word from the owner...

"I have owned the flat for nearly 13 years and is currently the longest place that I have ever lived, slightly longer than my childhood home in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. I enjoy the location and the overall look and feel of the building and my flat. I am an architect and have remodeled the whole interior over 3 stages from 2011 to 2019 to a high specification including: joinery, lighting, sanitaryware and appliances. The flat is only one of two flats in Sylvester House which benefits from three aspects. I have glazing on three sides and benefit from a sun filled flat with light coming from the east (bedroom and kitchen) south (kitchen and living room) and west (living room). I have recently repainted my flat and (as you will see from viewing it) you will not have to undertake any refurbishment or upgrade works. Flat 69 Sylvester House is ready to live in."

What's on your doorstep?

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.

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.
