IF YOU LIVED HERE…
This captivating residence is set within an elegant building whose balanced proportions, warm brickwork and graceful detailing form a timeless first impression. A gated approach leads to allocated parking, framed by thoughtfully planted greenery that lends a soft and appealing feel before you even step inside.

Once through the door, a parquet-floored hallway with a built-in storage cupboard sets the tone for the space beyond. The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room is wonderfully bright, with dual-aspect windows drawing in natural light. Soft green walls and rich parquet flooring provide an attractive backdrop, while the arrangement of cabinetry, worktops and shelving offers both style and practicality. The layout suits both relaxed evenings and sociable gatherings.

The bedroom enjoys leafy outlooks from a large window, its gentle wall tones paired with the warmth of the flooring to create a serene retreat. The bathroom pairs large-format stone-toned tiles with a striking dark feature wall, centred around a bath with overhead shower for a smart, cohesive finish.

Outside, the communal gardens offer a tranquil sanctuary. Winding gravel paths weave between manicured hedges and vibrant planting, leading to a serene pond with ornamental features. Sheltered seating areas provide quiet spots to pause and take in the surroundings, all framed by mature trees and refined period architecture. It’s a setting where elegance meets comfort, with abundant greenery and charm at its heart.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

“I feel right at home in Hackney, although I’m originally from Greece. You can be anyone, wear whatever you like and always feel welcome. The multiculturalism here comes across in the diversity of the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee shops and Michelin star restaurants to beautiful parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone. Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway market are filled with great community energy, international delicacies and local artisan creations. For dog lovers, the marshes are beautiful for afternoon and weekend walks with your four-legged friends. And while you’re there, you can stop by the river Lea at the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch, or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer. Properties in the area vary from characterful Victorian and Georgian houses to charming local authority red-brick blocks and beautifully designed modern developments with communal roof terraces. I have found my home in Hackney and it holds a very special place in my heart.”
