Brickworks, Dalston, E8

Forest Road comprises six luxurious 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments on the top two floors of a new development between central Dalston and London Fields. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, the development is just moments from the overground station and close to all the action in this thriving creative heart of Hackney.

Located on the second and third floors of the building, the apartments have far-reaching views of the City and East London through attractive warehouse-style windows and from private terraces and balconies. This landmark new building has elegant proportions that echo the architecture of the warehouse formerly on the site and sits comfortably alongside the eclectic mix of buildings in the surrounding area.

This smart one bedroom apartment situated on the 3rd (top) floor offers over 500 square feet of lateral living accommodation. The semi-open-plan living area is flooded with natural light via the large west-facing windows with plenty of space for dining and entertaining. The galley kitchen hosts a surprising amount of storage and living space features direct access to the private roof terrace. The bedroom is a well-sized double and the family bathroom includes a contemporary bathroom with shower over bath, wash basin and WC.

The development is of a high standard throughout, with contemporary fixtures and fittings and stylish modern décor. This includes porcelain floor and wall tiles, matt black and brushed chrome ironmongery, recessed downlighters, and Bosch integrated appliances. Each apartment has a utility cupboard fitted with a washer/dryer, and the bathrooms have striking terrazzo style tiling, modern sanitaryware, and mirrored fitted cabinets.
 
The building is highly insulated and has bespoke solid wood windows fitted with high specification double glazing. Heating is provided by underfloor space heating system with continuous ventilation. This is a wet system powered by high-efficiency individual gas boilers, apart from in the bathrooms which all have electric underfloor heating.

All balconies and terraces have practical composite decking and glass balustrades.
 
There’s a private residents’ entrance with fob and code security, and all apartments can be accessed via the lift or stairs, which have far-reaching easterly views framed by picture windows. There’s also a secure internal cycle store, and the development has fibre-optic cable.

The development is ideally located to enjoy the many attractions of east London, from lovely London Fields with its Lido, tennis courts and meadow, to the many independent shops, bakeries, cafes and restaurants in Dalston, Broadway Market and central Hackney. The large green spaces of Victoria Park and the Olympic Park are 1-2 miles away, and easily reached by public transport or via the many cycle routes.

Transport links are excellent, with two overground stations mere minutes away on foot (Dalston Junction 3 minutes, Dalston Kingsland 7 minutes) and numerous buses along nearby Kingsland Road. If you prefer to travel by bike or on foot it’s just two miles to the City.
