Pritchards Road, Hackney, London, E2

Combining deft design and a top-notch location, this thoughtfully renovated one-bedroom flat in Bethnal Green means you have the East End as your playground.

Brickworks Says - On the third floor of a 1930s block, in a green and friendly estate, this flat enjoys the perks of being purpose-built and doubles down on them with carefully considered updates.

There are so many things to like. The entrance hall is wide and welcoming; the newly upgraded sage-green kitchen has space to eat, and a pared-back palette lets the flat's natural assets, including well-proportioned light-filled spaces, do the talking. The current owners have reworked many elements, too, both big and small. By paying careful attention to the materials used, such as the bathroom's sustainable cork flooring and the natural wood grain of the plywood cabinetry, they have created a home that is not only beautiful, it is also calm and grounded.

Despite Dinmont House's green and pleasant surroundings, you could not ask for a livelier part of London. The immediate vicinity buzzes with list-topping destinations such as Michelin-starred Bistrotheque and dangerously tasty bakeries (we're looking at you, E5 Bakehouse). There are too many watering holes and late-night venues to mention, but there's something for everyone. And when you want to take it down a notch, Broadway Market and Colombia Road are nearby, or you can stroll along the Regent's Canal.

The Owners Say - We have loved living here because it's a safe and welcoming estate. The people who live here are a mix of families, young professionals and creatives of all sorts, and we often bump into friendly faces in the courtyard. It's a wonderful community to be part of.

There are landscaped grounds behind secure gates, but the area is busy and bustling at the weekends and is close to the city. We love Sunday walks along the canal to Victoria Park.

The Legal Bit - While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
