Bespoke concrete worktops and brass fittings complete the aesthetic.

Next door and your bathroom's especially luxurious, with designer flooring and twin vanity sinks by Marble Partners, and charming Vola fittings including an integrated brass rainfall shower set into floor to ceiling tilework. You have underfloor heating in here too, and it's all finished in Farrow & Ball wet room paint.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

"I feel right at home in Hackney, although I’m originally from Greece. You can be anyone, wear whatever you like and always feel welcome. The multiculturalism here comes across in the diversity of the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee shops and Michelin star restaurants to beautiful parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone. Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway market are filled with great community energy, international delicacies and local artisan creations. For dog lovers, the marshes are beautiful for afternoon and weekend walks with your four-legged friends. And while you’re there, you can stop by the river Lea at the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch, or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer. Properties in the area vary from characterful Victorian and Georgian houses to charming local authority red-brick blocks and beautifully designed modern developments with communal roof terraces. I have found my home in Hackney and it holds a very special place in my heart."
