IF YOU LIVED HERE…

The property sits within an elegant period terrace, its façade defined by tall sash windows, decorative brickwork and graceful arched doorways. White-painted detailing contrasts with the warm brick, while a short flight of steps leads to the entrance, giving the building a quiet sense of presence.
Inside, the reception is arranged around a classic fireplace, with light filtering softly through the bay window and shutters. Subtle tones and balanced proportions lend the room a gentle charm, creating an inviting setting for both relaxed evenings and more sociable occasions. The kitchen continues the contemporary mood, with tiled walls and smooth finishes providing a fresh backdrop. A glazed door opens onto the garden, allowing natural light to flow through and linking the indoors with the green space beyond.
From the kitchen, the shared garden unfolds as an open garden escape, with a neatly kept lawn bordered by mature planting and trees that provide a sense of calm and privacy. A paved terrace offers space for dining or simply enjoying the surroundings, making this outdoor area a natural extension of the home.
In the bedroom, the atmosphere feels peaceful and serene, with a built-in wardrobe ensuring the space remains uncluttered. A sash window frames leafy views of the garden, while the soft palette and understated detailing bring a restful quality. Completing the interior, the bathroom is styled in a crisp, modern fashion, with a large mirror that enhances the light and marble-effect flooring that adds a touch of quiet sophistication.

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."
