The Indoors

The wrought iron-fenced front garden, framed by high hedging, provides a discreet introduction. A few steps lead up to a raised ground entrance, where a striking front door, equipped with Banham locks, opens to a welcoming hallway a pause for breath before entering the expansive double reception rooms. Here, full-height shuttered sash windows, flood the room with natural light from dual aspects, highlighting the ceiling heights and creating an atmosphere of airiness, with intricate cornicing beautifully restored overhead, original painted floorboards running seamlessly underfoot, and two classic open fireplaces anchoring the space. The original folding doors between the two reception rooms offer the flexibility of creating a more intimate setting when desired.

Ascending the original staircase, the first floor unfolds into a series of beautifully appointed bedrooms, each bathed in natural light that enhances the home's serene ambiance. The principal bedroom, located at the front of the house, has a charming fireplace with a classic surround, fitted wardrobes, and a sash window that frames the view of the quiet street below. Adjacent, the third bedroom provides a flexible space, perfect for a nursery, guest room, or home office. At the rear, a spacious double bedroom offers restful views over the enchanting garden, with fitted wardrobes providing ample storage. The family bathroom, equally generous in size, complements the serene aesthetics with an elegant bath and walk in shower in addition to its modern fixtures and finishes.

Inside, the lower ground floor is a spacious haven. The modern kitchen, characterized by a mix of low and high-level cabinetry, crisp white finishes, and a central island, flows effortlessly into a comfortable lounge and dining area. This space is framed by bi-fold doors that open wide to the courtyard dining area, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and bathing the space in the warmth of a south-facing garden aspect.

The Outdoors

From the reception rooms, a stunning stained-glass door draws you towards a discreet W/C and provides access to the rear garden, a peaceful sanctuary that has been precisely landscaped by a Royal Appointed Gardening Company. Spanning close to 75 feet, the garden is embraced in thoughtful design, blending stonework with mature, diverse foliage that flanks both sides, creating a peaceful, green oasis right in the heart of Hackney. The lower ground terrace, with its sophisticated layout, is perfect for al fresco dining, while steps lead up to the main garden area, where verdant plantings and carefully crafted spaces invite relaxation and reflection
