IF YOU LIVED HERE…

This building has a bold presence, with classic brickwork painted in a soft light tone, contrasted by darker detailing at street level that adds definition. A series of large windows brings balance and rhythm to the façade, while the neatly arranged upper floors complete the composition, giving the property a distinctive yet attractive appearance.
Inside, the hallway leads to a useful storage and utility space as well as the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge. Timber flooring runs throughout, bringing warmth and a sense of continuity, while dual aspect windows ensure the interior is filled with natural light. Shutters add both style and privacy, and the lounge flows with ease into the dining area, beyond which lies a well-planned kitchen. Here, timeless cabinetry, generous worktops and integrated storage provide a clean and functional setting that blends effortlessly with the wider room. The result is a bright, sociable environment, perfectly suited to everyday living and entertaining.
A staircase with natural wood balustrades guides you down to the lower ground floor, where the sleeping and study areas are arranged. The rear bedroom feels calm and inviting, with wide windows, pale walls and wood flooring enhancing the sense of openness. At the front, another double bedroom makes a statement with its exposed brick feature wall, bringing warmth and texture. A further room is set aside as a study or home office, offering flexibility for modern lifestyles. Between the bedrooms you’ll find the bathroom, fully tiled in warm tones and complete with a bath and overhead rain shower, adding comfort to this thoughtfully finished space.
This part of Hackney offers a vibrant mix of places to eat, drink and unwind, with something to suit every taste. Just around the corner, the Tram Store is a lively hub for coffee and community gatherings, while The Clapton Hart and the Crooked Billet serve up welcoming pub atmospheres with plenty of character. For dining, Mambow has earned high praise, described by Time Out as one of London’s best restaurants, while My Neighbours the Dumplings is a much-loved spot for Asian-inspired plates. Green spaces are in easy reach too, with Millfields providing wide open parkland and Hackney Downs offering expansive green space, tree-lined paths and room for both sport and relaxation.
