Warneford Street, London Fields, E9

This spacious three-bedroom lower maisonette occupies the lower two floors of a substantial end of terrace Victorian villa on a prime corner site close to London Fields. Totally remodelled by ZCD Architects to create a thoroughly contemporary home, the property combines period proportions and features with stunning design details. Comprising a generous 1,163 square feet of interior space, it also has a roof terrace and a landscaped courtyard garden.

The property has been extended and reconfigured to create a large open plan living area  on the lower ground floor, three bedrooms and a roof terrace on the floor above, and a bathroom on each floor. The apartment entrance on the raised ground floor opens into a small hall with stairs down to the main living space and shower room.

Extending almost 35 ft from the front to the rear of the property, this comprises a front lounge area, central kitchen space, and rear dining/relaxation zone. The front living room is a serene space with two tall sash windows and beautiful original stripped pine shutters, a bespoke discreet storage wall, and a herringbone parquet engineered wood floor that continues into the kitchen area.

The well-equipped kitchen has two walls of hidden handleless cabinets with integrated appliances and a central marble stone Island with an inset sink. Beyond this lies the spacious rear living space which spans the full width of the property and has ample space for a large dining table and workspace. The whole area is flooded with natural light thanks to a large skylight, a small internal courtyard (with a climbing wall!) and glazing along the back wall that includes a full height glazed pivot door that opens into the courtyard garden, creating a seamless indoor and outdoor space.

The garden is an ideal private space for relaxation and entertaining. Created with low-maintenance and simple, natural aesthetics in mind, this calm space with white stained larch cladding, built-in bench seating and plenty of plants in raised beds has the feel of an outdoor room.

The upper floor is home to three bedrooms, with the main en suite bedroom at the front of the property. Both this bedroom and the adjacent second double bedroom feature original stripped wood floors and shutters, and bespoke fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom is elegant and spacious, whilst the second bedroom has French doors that open onto the private decked roof terrace which has views down into the garden. The third bedroom overlooks the ground floor garden and could make for an ideal home office.

This unique property is in immaculate condition throughout with high spec fixtures and fittings and mainly white décor that complements the natural wood features.

The property is located almost equidistant London Fields and Victoria Park, mere moments from both and close to a multitude of shops, markets, bars and café. It’s just a five-minute walk to London Fields Overground station, with Hackney Central and Bethnal Green tube also nearby.
