Goulton Road, Hackney

Set within an attractive Victorian conversion, this one-bedroom apartment spans over 600 square feet, offering an impressive sense of space and brightness. Positioned on the second floor, the home benefits from a well-considered layout that balances comfort with flexibility, making it well suited to modern living. The interiors provide plenty of room for both relaxing and entertaining, while period character adds to the appeal. A further advantage is the inclusion of a dedicated office within the building, providing an ideal environment for work or study, set apart from the main apartment to enhance convenience and lifestyle.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Forming part of a handsome period terrace, its traditional brickwork and arched detailing lend elegance and charm to the frontage. Mature greenery softens the exterior, creating a welcoming approach and enhancing its kerb appeal.

Inside, a separate office space is thoughtfully positioned away from the main living area, offering a quiet retreat that is naturally bright and perfectly suited to working from home or study. A neatly presented hallway follows, with built-in cupboards providing generous concealed storage and soft carpeting adding a warm, homely touch.

At the heart of the home lies the open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room, where timber flooring runs seamlessly throughout. Windows draw in daylight, while the generous scale allows plenty of room for both relaxed lounging and more formal dining. The arrangement of cabinetry along one wall ensures a streamlined layout, and subtle alcoves add to the sense of versatility, making this a highly sociable and practical living area.

Finished in fresh white tiling offset by dark flooring, the bathroom creates a crisp, contemporary backdrop. A full-sized bath takes centre stage, while the simplicity of the design ensures the room feels both functional and inviting.

Well proportioned and filled with brightness thanks to triple aspect windows, the bedroom has a soft neutral décor and carpeted floor that bring a restful quality. The space comfortably accommodates additional furnishings, while the overall feel is airy and serene, offering a calm retreat within the home.

Surrounding the home is a lively mix of culture, green spaces, and independent favourites, all within easy reach. Just a short stroll away, The Vincent serves up modern dining in a relaxed setting, while Palette is a popular spot for coffee and brunch. For evenings out, the Clapton Hart and the Old Ship both bring characterful pub charm, while Oslo Hackney is known for its live music and buzzing atmosphere. Weekend wanderings are well catered for with Chatsworth Road offering artisan produce and Broadway further afield providing a vibrant mix of stalls. Green open spaces are close by too, with Hackney Downs Park and the vast Hackney Marshes inviting exploration.

A WORD FROM THE EXPERT...

“I feel right at home 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.”
