Haybridge House, Mount Pleasant Hill, Clapton, E5

Guide Price £800,000 - £850,000. A bright and characterful three bedroom warehouse apartment occupying the first floor and mezzanine of a former toy factory boasting approx. 1475sqft and positioned in the heart of upper Clapton close to the river lea and hackney marshes.

Once a Toy factory before being converted into apartments in 1997, Haybridge House has effectively maintained an array of original features including the cobbled stone at the entrance which leads up to this rare to market home. Access to the tranquil mews is granted via a secure gated entrance. The cobbled courtyard is where the tight knit community of Haybridge House enjoy neighbourly gatherings and alfresco dining in the warmer months of the year.

The entrance to the apartment is on the first floor and unfolds to a breath taking open-plan live / work space with living and kitchen area. The dual aspect room enjoys the benefit of plentiful natural light which floods through original crittall windows. With stunning hardwood floor, incredible high ceilings and ample space, this floor would lend itself to a variety of layouts. Known widely as a live / work loft apartment, the adaptable space will allow the new owner to enjoy large dinner parties, a private work space and a sanctuary to relax in. There is also a large shower room on this floor and eaves storage underneath the staircase.

Heading up to the mezzanine level, huge skylights open up the space and invite you into the two doubles bedrooms and a single. All of the decor is fresh and neutral inviting the new owner to use their imagination to enhance a truly unique apartment. Whilst minimal in terms of furniture for now, the styling possibilities are endless. There is a large utility area at the top of the first floor staircase which could easily be converted into a second bathroom.

A bespoke spiral staircase leads up to the roof, whilst not demised to the home, this outdoor space has an envious, far reaching view.

The home benefits from a gated car park with an allocated parking space in addition to a communal bike shed.

The building is managed by the residents association who oversaw the joint purchase of the freehold. This has helped keep service charge lower than equivalent buildings.

Haybridge House is located close to excellent transport links into the City and West End including Clapton station, Stoke Newington station and Stamford Hill station, into Liverpool Street. There are numerous local bus routes as well as easy access to London City Airport, Stratford and Shoreditch.

The property finds itself within the trendy Clapton area, which is very up and coming, with Chatsworth Market and its array of bars, restaurants, independent shops and cafes not forgetting its popular Sunday market which is a weekly go to for many in the area.

Also close to vibrant Stoke Newington Church Street with its boutique shops, restaurants and bars. For recreation Springfield Park, Walthamstow Marshes, Clissold Park, Victoria Park and Lee Valley Marina are a short distance away along with riverside walks along the River Lea.
