Bridle House, 4 Stables Yard, London

A splendidly immaculate one bedroom balcony apartment on the second floor of this landmark development in Hackney's Fish Island. It's all finished to the highest standard throughout, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Lee Navigation canal.

You're utterly spoiled for green space. As well as the Olympic Park on your doorstep you have the lush historical splendour of Victoria Park barely five minutes away on foot. Great for evening strolls, morning jogs and afternoon boating.

IF YOU LIVED HERE...

Step inside and an open plan entrance hall is laid open to the 250 square foot kitchen and reception room. Smart grey cabinets home to high end kitchen appliances (including a wine fridge) run down one flank. In the incredible opposite corner an imposing column separates facing, floor to ceiling windows, natural light floods in, and you have widescreen views of the canal and greenery opposite.

Step out from here on to your sheltered balcony for more of the same vistas and fifty square feet of pleasant outdoor space you can enjoy whatever the weather. Your balcony's also directly accessible from your bedroom via a pair of sliding glass doors, sharing the same striking views and enviable natural light. Smart and smoky engineered hardwood flows underfoot throughout, while your bathroom's a five star boutique affair, with vertical ocean blue tilework, oversized vanity mirror and a rainfall shower over the tub.

Fish Island itself is Hackney's former warehouse district, the old industrial architecture now home to high end apartments and a wide variety of independent and characterful bars and restaurants. There are plenty of new favourites to explore, but along the canal alone you'll find food, drink and tunes at Two More Years, floating fine dining all the way from Holland at Barge East, and top notch pizzas at Lanterna. Alternatively, stroll five minutes across the River Lee and you're exploring the world famous landmarks of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
