The open plan kitchen features sleek recessed handles, Silestone quartz worktops and a porcelain sink, plus an integrated Bosch oven with induction hob, microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. Cabinetry in a warm eggshell nods to the apartment’s natural palette, while the tiled splashback adds a gentle lustre. To optimise storage in the kitchen, a utility space with a washing machine is discreetly housed behind closed doors in the corridor.

Sharp eyes will spot subtle nuances in the cerulean blue tiles that clad the bathroom in a modish linear formation. Here, a contemporary mirrored cabinet sits atop a semi-recessed washbasin, and a smart shower nook is clad in a speckled, terrazzo-like texture. The bronze finish of the taps and rainfall shower head adds instant polish.

Life at The Sessile comes with plenty of perks. The building is pet-friendly, with both cats and dogs welcome, while an onsite team is ready to respond to any problem, from managing the technical bits of your tenancy to repairs, billing and day-to-day queries. Residents also benefit from secure internal bicycle storage, as well as individual smart parcel lockers accessible day and night. The Way of Life app is a dedicated hub that handles quick tasks like booking spaces, plus our calendar of complementary events, fitness classes and workshops.

ABOUT THE BUILDING

The communal areas of The Sessile have been created in collaboration with one of the biggest names in hospitality design. Loved for her layered, eclectic aesthetic, the London-based interior designer is behind some of the world's best-loved spaces, from members' clubs to restaurants. You'll find that same design flair in every detail of The Sessile, starting with the bespoke coloured marble desk holding court at reception.

The spacious, air-conditioned gym on the ground floor has all the equipment you’d expect from a top facility, so forget queuing for a lone treadmill or tussling over a few free weights. Firmly a strip light-free zone, this calm space features burl wood banquette seating for resting between reps, while blue-tinted mirrors and a micro cement water station tick off the functional bits with flair. Cubby holes are a clever way to keep your belongings to hand.

Up on the tenth floor, the orangery is a sunlit atrium that unfolds around a retro tiled hearth. With chandeliers overhead and plush rugs underfoot, residents can sink into an armchair by the fire, or set up shop for the day on a shared table with plenty of plug sockets. Designed to flex for every need, this space can be connected to a commercial-grade chef’s kitchen and table, expertly kitted out for caterers or big names stopping by to run a supper club. A range of private dining rooms on this floor are bookable for birthdays and gatherings that require a little extra fanfare.

Just the spot for stylish sundowners, The Sessile’s roof terrace runs the full length of the orangery. Planters are built in beside the striped banquettes, so screening is supplied by lush palms and fiddle leaf figs. Exceptional views over Tottenham take in the crest of the stadium and the open green space of Down Lane Park. The vinyl room next door is a music lovers mecca, with a vast record collection ready to spin as well as a table tennis table and hideaway television. Also on this floor is a yoga studio, where every resident can enjoy a complimentary class each week, with stained glass doors that dance light around the room.

Way of Life has brought The Sessile to life with an eclectic edit of furniture, fabrics and bespoke finishes. Expect handcrafted design from Pinch, Jay Achilles, Galvin Brothers and FLOOR_STORY, peppered with rare vintage pieces sourced at home and away. Sessile signatures include brick red accents, bronze finishes and geometric green tiles underfoot, which were designed in collaboration with Hackney-based Otto Tiles. The planting has been masterminded by east London favourite Conservatory Archives, and the art curated from local talents who draw on the area’s heritage of pottery production.

This building is designated as car-free, meaning that no private vehicles are permitted on-site. Residents and visitors are encouraged to use alternative transport options such as walking, cycling, or public transport.

ABOUT THE AREA

Tottenham Hale is a lively community at the juncture of north and east London. Nestled between Tottenham High Road and the River Lea, the neighbourhood was once an industrial powerhouse and now attracts a diverse crowd of creatives, young families and professionals. Top transport links mean King’s Cross is 11 minutes away and Oxford Circus only five more, while handy National Rail routes deliver you directly to Liverpool Street and Stansted Airport.

For those in need of some green, it’s a ten-minute stroll to the edge of Walthamstow Wetlands, a peaceful nature reserve which covers more than two hundred acres of Thames Water reservoir. One of London’s most important waterways, the River Lea offers miles of walking and cycle routes, connecting the most committed with Hackney Marshes and Stratford’s Olympic Park.

Weekends with a different flavour might start at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a twenty-five-minute walk away, and finish at the Bernie Grant Arts Centre, which runs an impressive programme of theatre, art and music. On a sunny day you’ll find plenty of locals parked on pews at Hackney Wick export Beavertown Brewery – or spade in hand at East Hale Allotments round the corner.

ABOUT WAY OF LIFE

Way of Life lays the foundation for renters to make a home. Working with some of the world’s most respected interior designers, we create distinctive residences that feature in Wallpaper*, ELLE Decor and Dezeen. Every detail is considered, from the warmth of a light bulb to the textured finish of a kitchen counter.

We know that buildings are nothing without people, which is why we’re always looking for ways to nurture our communities. Residents can expect regular events and workshops, as well as access to design-led gyms, lounges and roof terraces. Our sites are designed to slot seamlessly into the wider community, and we help support local businesses through collaboration and social responsibility projects.

We like to practice what we preach, so we’ve made ourselves accountable in setting a new standard for renting. Way of Life is a voluntary member of governing bodies that hold us to strict codes in property, service and the protection of tenancy deposits, and our online tenancy management system is available 24/7 for ultimate peace of mind. No unexpected fees. No troublesome small print. Just leases that are straightforward and easy to manage.

ABOUT COMMUNITY LIFE

At Way of Life, we understand that your home is more than bricks and mortar. Perhaps it’s about putting down roots, or feeling part of something bigger. We help our residents connect with their local area, while ensuring existing communities feel supported and respected.

The Way of Life Community initiative is our very own award-winning, social responsibility programme. A long-term commitment to shaping lasting change in each of our neighbourhoods, it’s designed to help grassroots projects like community hubs and services grow in a sustainable way.

Each residence chooses a project independently, so your time, skills and donations will support something that’s taking shape right on your doorstep. If you do choose to get involved, you can do so safe in the knowledge that you’ll be supporting tangible and lasting change, close to home.
