If you lived here...

You'll enter your broad, generous hallway to find natural wood tones and relaxing neutral palettes. From the golden floorboards gracing your bedroom and reception floors to the crisp white walls, original internal timber doors, and sash windows. Two large, similarly-sized bedrooms lead off on either side of the hallway, each bathed in natural light. The larger of the two features an original fireplace and timeless crown moulding, while the smaller sleeper has a sizeable fitted wardrobe offering plenty of storage.

Your reception room is a sumptuous affair, with extensive open shelving and natural light pouring in through South West facing windows. Next door, your bathroom is classic and minimalist, with a retro touch from the green accented shower and wood paneled tub. Open your rustic wooden door and revel in your charming, spacious kitchen. With a country cottage feel, the plentiful white cabinets and metro tile backsplash contrast beautifully with the timber style worktop and warm terracotta flooring.

Situated beside the leafy wonderland of Clapton Square, you're in a lovely corner of Hackney, with favourite spots such as Lucky & Joy, for modern Chinese fare, and The Mokapot House, for artisanal pastries and coffee, both just a three minute walk away on Lower Clapton Road.

A word from the owner...

"I fell in love with the flat the moment I walked in. Light was streaming in from all sides, it had all those period features that I adore, and loads of space. We have loved living here - morning coffee in the kitchen with views of Canary Wharf, a run round Hackney Downs or London Fields, and everything we need (shops, markets, green spaces) within walking distance. We’ve also benefited from a really easy commute to the City and across London, with excellent bus and train connections. Despite all that, it’s still really tranquil since it's set back from the road; there's nowhere better to come home to after a long day. We've made friends for life with our neighbours and (if not obvious!) we will be sad to leave."
