Clapton Square, Clapton, Hackney, E5

Occupying the ground and first floor of this beautiful Grade II listed Georgian townhouse conversion on picturesque Clapton Square, this light-filled apartment retains many period correct features, whilst benefiting from being modernised to a great standard throughout.

Arched windows, wooden shutters and cast iron fireplaces sit comfortably alongside engineered wood floors, quartz worktops and bespoke fitted wardrobes. In addition to its obvious aesthetic qualities, this apartment also offers a private west-facing garden and a share of the freehold. Spanning almost 1,000 sq.ft. of space, this home is configured as a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with large kitchen/diner, but was originally sold as a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment and can be converted back simply if so desired.
The freeholders have carried out external works in recent years and the building now represents a handsome frontage on this renowned garden square conservation area in the heart of Hackney.
The ground floor of the apartment provides a kitchen/dining room with direct views of the garden square, a separate living room with bay window and westerly aspect. A contemporary subway tiled shower room, and a double bedroom with bespoke fitted wardrobes and a stable style door leading out on to the private decked garden.
The first floor provides a further double bedroom with fitted storage, and a bathroom with overhead shower and pattern tiled flooring.
Refurbished completely in 2018, the current owner has kept the property in excellent condition and it will no doubt tick as many boxes for its intrinsic beauty and practicality as it does for its fantastic village-like location.
