Hacon Square, Richmond Road, Hackney, E8

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Tucked away in a quiet courtyard, you’d be forgiven for not realising you’re just round the corner from the hustle and bustle. Perched on the top floor, it’s possible to enjoy a feeling of detachment sitting in the light-filled living space or lounging in bed overlooking the willow tree outside. And having not one, but two, balconies positioned at either end of the flat means you can opt to take five when the sun is in prime position.

Satisfying upgrades have been added courtesy of the current owners. Engineered wood flooring gives a high-spec finish, as do the kit-kat mosaic tiles and timeless shaker-style units in the eat-in kitchen. The sensible layout means the bedrooms are similar sizes, and with a reassuring amount of storage, it’s also an eminently practical home.

Step out of Hacon Square and you’re greeted by the delights of London Fields. You only have to cross the road to pick up out-of-this-world pastries at Pophams, or grab a coffee from Running Late. The area is a wonderful mix of laid-back, with London Fields lido and Broadway Market on your doorstep, and higher octane pursuits thanks to an abundance of gyms, pubs and other after-hours venues to choose from.

THE OWNERS SAY

We’ve had the pleasure of calling this flat home for the past 13 years, and it’s been a true haven for us. From the moment we walked in, the airy space captured our hearts—thanks to its generous south-facing windows, top-floor setting and balconies on both sides.

Over the years, we’ve enjoyed adding personal touches, making it truly our own. The location is unbeatable. Situated right on the doorstep of London Fields and Hackney Central, we’ve had easy access to vibrant culture, trendy bars, and a fantastic selection of restaurants. We’ve fallen in love with the neighbourhood and, though we’ll miss it dearly, we’re staying just around the corner!

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.
