Wayland Avenue, Hackney

This beautifully presented three-bedroom house offers a generous 1408 sq ft of living space, set across two floors of an elegant period property. With two receptions, downstairs WC, enviable cellar storage and secluded outdoor space, there’s also the potential to extend (STPP) once you settle into your beautiful double-fronted home.

You’ll be in a prime central Hackney location too, with just a 4-minute walk to Hackney Downs Station (Weaver Line) and a short stroll from the vibrant energy of Mare Street and the greenery of London Fields. Victoria Park, Hackney Downs, and the Regent’s Canal towpath are all nearby too, putting nature and city life comfortably side by side.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

From the street, the clean white-brick frontage immediately stands apart from its terraced neighbours on either side. Inside, the simple, white aesthetic continues with dark wooden floorboards that guide you from the hallway into two reception rooms. To the left, a bright through-room stretches over 23 feet, its bay window filling the space with light and further to the rear amplifying the light. A fireplace set against a deep anthracite wall naturally divides the room into dining and lounging areas. Opposite, the second reception has a curved end wall that gives it a more intimate, reflective feel.

The kitchen sits just beyond, with dove-grey shaker units and a window that frames the garden. There’s plenty of space for appliances, storage, and prep, making it both functional and unfussy. A neat WC and access to an 80 sq ft cellar complete the ground floor.

Outside, the 29-foot garden is securely enclosed by high brick walls, with a simple concrete base that invites transformation, whether that’s pots of herbs, sculptural planters, or even an olive tree to bring life and flavour to the space.

Upstairs, a striped runner leads to three generous doubles. The principal bedroom sits at the front with twin sash windows and painted floorboards, while the other two offer their own mix of soft carpet or warm wood, each anchored by a fireplace and surrounding mantel. The family bathroom is practical but quietly stylish, with a glazed bath/shower, rustic wood-mounted sink, and built-in cupboards keeping everything in order.

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.
