Rushmore Road, London

The Home -

This three-bedroom Victorian home sits on Rushmore Road, one of Lower Clapton’s most loved streets. It’s moments from Millfields Park and around the corner from the food spots, cafés, and weekend market of Chatsworth Road. The house has been updated with double-glazed sash windows while keeping its period character intact, offering generous rooms, great natural light, and an extended layout that opens directly onto the garden.

The Indoors -

The hallway greets you with detailed Victorian cornicing, which leads to to all spaces inside the home. To the right, the main living room stretches the full length of the house thanks to an extension, with a second entrance further along the room. Original floorboards run underfoot, and the fireplaces remain in place. At the front, bayed sash windows pull in a wide spread of daylight.

A small set of stairs leads down to the kitchen and dining level. The kitchen is bright, helped by side-return windows that pour light across the units and wooden fittings, with tidy storage for everyday use. This links to the dining area, which feels almost like a glass room walls and ceiling drawing in the outdoors throughout the year. Doors open straight onto the rear garden, making this a lovely spot for slow breakfasts or evenings with friends. Beyond this level are the laundry room and access to the cellar.

The first floor holds the main bedroom, a large room with two sash windows, fitted wardrobes, and a period fireplace. Next door is the second bedroom, also able to take a double bed, with its own sash window and fireplace. Further along is the W/C, followed by the main bathroom, a generous space with a bathtub, walk-in shower, full tiling, sash window and built-in storage.
Up on the second floor is the third bedroom, well-lit and tucked away from the rest of the house.

The Outdoors -

The garden extends beyond the dining room’s glass doors, offering a calm spot with plenty of space for planting, outdoor seating, or a play area. Its shape makes it easy to personalise, and the direct connection to the bright dining space gives it a very welcoming feel.
