Denmark Villas, Shore Road, London Fields, E9

This elegant four-story residence, originally named 1 Denmark Villas, was constructed in the 1850s and underwent a complete renovation, including the addition of a rear extension, in 2015 by its current owners. It is ideally positioned on a tranquil street, equidistant between London Fields and the Northwestern corner of Victoria Park.

Notably, in contrast to the typical offerings in the area, this property features an 80-foot west-facing garden, five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a spacious through reception area on the raised ground floor, and an L-shaped kitchen, dining, and snug area on the lower ground level. Additionally, it boasts an adjacent off-street parking space with the potential for an electric vehicle (EV) charging station.

The house's entrance is perched atop a stoop on the raised ground floor. From the wide hallway, there is access to the through reception area to the right and a rear door at the end leading to an elevated, west-facing roof terrace with steps descending to the garden.

The through reception benefits from a generously sized bay window on the eastern end, bathing the room in morning light. On the western end, an equally impressive window captures the afternoon sun. Both rooms showcase original fireplaces, cast iron radiators, refurbished floorboards, functional shutters, ornate cornicing, and ceiling roses. The larger of the two rooms, with the bay window, currently serves as a grand piano room.

Ascending to the first floor via a water closet on the half landing, you'll find two spacious double bedrooms and a bathroom. The east-facing bedroom boasts an unusually large feature window, a fireplace, and a cast iron radiator, while the west-facing bedroom easily accommodates a super king-size bed and includes a cast iron radiator and refurbished wooden floorboards.
Beyond a cleverly designed study area on the next half landing, the second floor offers a generous landing, two similarly sized double bedrooms, and another bathroom. Both bedrooms feature cast iron radiators and refurbished wooden floorboards.

Descending to the lower ground floor, the Eastern end of the house is a good-sized room which the current owners use as a gym. It also benefits from a large bay window and offers plenty of light, particularly in the morning. There is an adjoining wetroom and this area could quite easily be reconfigured into a bedroom with an ensuite to provide for a nanny’s quarters, guest bedroom or could be used as an office or extension to the adjoining reception space.

In the ground floor rear extension, you'll find the L-shaped kitchen, dining, and snug area, highlighted by an exposed brick wall along the entire northern elevation of the room. The kitchen, expertly crafted by DeVol Kitchens, incorporates a working wood-burning stove within the exposed chimney breast. The entire lower ground floor benefits from underfloor heating beneath a flagstone finish.

Adjacent to the kitchen dining area are tall wooden bi-fold doors that open completely onto the west-facing garden. The garden itself has been thoughtfully divided into three distinct areas: a dining area with a bespoke barbecue, a secluded seating area, and a hidden garden at the rear, mostly laid to grass with raised beds and a greenhouse.

Shore Road itself is extremely well situated for a family, with a supermarket at the end of the road, a health centre across the road and the two best parks in East London within a 5-minute walk of the house. There are half a dozen local primary schools with an Ofsted rating of “Excellent” within walking distance, the renowned private Gatehouse school is also nearby, and it is in the catchment area for the Victoria Park Academy.

There are too many good bars and restaurants in the area to name, but Brat, Elliotts and Mare Street Market are all within a 5-minute walk towards London Fields, while in the other direction, Victoria Park Village is home to The Empress, My Neighbours the Dumplings and Pophams.

In terms of transport links, London Fields Overground station is a 7-minute walk away and there are numerous bus routes to the City and West End from nearby Mare Street and Well Street. The area is also extremely well served by the cycle and canal network.
