IF YOU LIVED HERE...

With its bright interiors, dual-aspect light, and a balcony for a welcome breeze, this first-floor apartment puts you right at the heart of one of London’s most energetic neighbourhoods. Step outside and you’re surrounded by Hackney’s mix of bars, cafés, restaurants, and one-off boutiques, while the secure, modern building keeps things calm when you’re ready to head home.

Freshly painted and beautifully presented, the flat feels move-in ready. The hallway has a useful storage cupboard before leading you into the open-plan kitchen/reception room. Here, practical and hard-wearing engineered wood flooring runs underfoot, and the layout offers space for both a comfortable lounge area and a dining table. Natural light pours in from its dual aspect: a bank of side windows and the sunny south-easterly aspect through a large glazed door opening wide into the balcony, helping keep things airy on hot summer days.

The kitchen runs neatly along the back wall in its own space but is accessed by a wide aperture for easy connected living. With white cabinetry, smart steel grey countertops and integrated appliances, there’s plenty of space for meal prep.

The bedroom is a comfortable double with warm, mustard-coloured walls as well as generous natural light to make mornings that bit easier.

In the bathroom, white mosaic tiling and a simple suite keep things clean and uncluttered, with a bath/shower combination to suit both quick starts and slow evenings.

Don’t miss your chance to own this stunning, centrally located flat—ideal for first-time buyers or anyone looking to invest in a property in a prime location.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

I feel right at home living 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.
