Whiston Road, Hackney, London, E2

Guide Price £2,000,000 - £2,250,000. A rare opportunity to acquire a mid-century former park-keeper's house, discreetly positioned within the original grounds of Haggerston Park in Hackney. Hidden behind the park's high perimeter wall and accessed through three-metre-high gates, this detached home offers a unique chance to own a property that not only occupies a prime position but also holds exceptional potential, whether through extension or complete reimagining.

The current house spans approximately 1,300 sq. ft across two storeys and is arranged as a three-bedroom residence. While modest in scale, its mid-century design carries a quiet integrity, offering a lateral layout rarely found in the area. Its location is genuinely special: a wrap-around country-like garden evokes a sense of seclusion and calm, yet uninterrupted, south-facing views across the park to the London skyline serve as a constant reminder of its urban setting.

In addition to the main house, a separate, design-led annex of 800 sq. ft is already in situ. Built by the highly regarded AF Build, this self-contained space offers flexibility - ideal for guests, extended family, or as a peaceful retreat during any future works.

The home now invites an exciting opportunity for transformation, either by way of a sensitive extension under permitted development, or a full architectural redesign.

Approved permitted development rights to extend the current footprint are already in place, including a double-storey extension and a separate, detached garage. If realised, this option would extend the floorspace to approximately 1,800 sq ft.

Given the breadth of the plot, we believe there also exists a compelling opportunity to create something truly personal and architecturally ambitious through a re-build. To explore the potential, we invited acclaimed London-based Scenario Architecture to develop a conceptual response. While not submitted for planning, their vision proposes a 5,000 sq. ft + home defined by generous proportions, refined detailing, and a strong commitment to sustainability.
