Adley Street, Clapton London, E5

Close to the buzz of Chatsworth Road, this three-bedroom Victorian home has undergone a modern-day makeover, infusing it with bohemian charm and joie de vivre.

Brickworks Says - The current owner of this beautiful house has struck a delicate balance, giving the building a new lease of life and scale while maintaining a genuinely cosy feel. It's down-to-earth yet undeniably stylish.

The choice of colour and design detailing has created many satisfying moments. The living areas deliver two distinct vibes, the more formal sitting room at the front and a relaxing nook towards the back, divided by beautiful bare-wood panelled doors sourced and restored by the owner. Looking out onto a bucolic garden, the kitchen is reminiscent of a country cottage but with an edge. It's a place where a cool grass-green floor sits happily next to shaker-style units that blend into their surroundings.

Each of the three comfortable bedrooms is distinguished by colour–the main is fresh and bright, while the two others (both doubles) are calming sanctuaries of green and blue. Infusions of pattern add interest, such as the checkerboard hearth or the burst of blue foliage in the downstairs WC.

Outside, the timber-clad beds are ready and waiting for some green fingers. If you've ever wanted to live the good life and grow your own, now's the time, or just sit back and enjoy as the garden bursts into life.

Adley Street's position means you have all the ingredients for a perfect weekend on your doorstep. Take your pick of brunch spots, grab a coffee at Finks and meander Chatsworth Road market, then sweat it out at Hackney Community Sauna. That's not to mention the plentiful options for living it up late into the night. And, of course, you can always blow the cobwebs away at nearby Hackney Marshes.

The Owners Say - I've truly loved living in this home. The street is peaceful and friendly—one of those rare places where neighbours still say hello, lend a hand, and genuinely look out for one another.

There's a strong sense of community here, especially around Chatsworth Road. From weekend markets to cosy cafés and local shops, it's a vibrant, welcoming area that feels like its own little village in the city. This home has been more than just a place to live—it's been a place to belong. I'll miss it deeply, and I hope the next owners love it as much as I have.

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.
