Lansdowne Drive, Artisan Court, E8

Occupying a sought-after position within a handsome Victorian school conversion on Lansdowne Drive, this lateral two-bedroom, two bathroom apartment is enveloped with light from its vast amount of windows - a rarity in most school and warehouse conversions. Spanning approximately 980 sq ft, the home has been updated to marry its academic heritage with a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

The sense of scale is established the moment you step inside with its spacious entrance. More than just a corridor, the wide entrance functions as an additional room in its own right. Framed by a window that provides natural light and ventilation, it’s a perfect spot for a home office or, as the current owners have styled it, a home gym area for a Peloton.

The living space is a large, open-plan kitchen, reception, and dining room that stretches over 34 feet. The defining feature here is the incredible number of windows; a continuous run of glazing wraps around the space, flooding the room with natural light and offering a panoramic perspective of the streetscape. It is, quite simply, a perfect entertaining space.

The kitchen is centered around a large island with breakfast seating. White cabinetry and integrated appliances ensure the space feels crisp and uncluttered.

Both bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles. The main bedroom features extensive built-in wardrobes, south facing windows and an en-suite shower room. Both bathrooms have been recently refurbished and finished with marble and concrete-effect tiling, vanity and mirror units with storage, ambient lighting and matte black fixtures.

Area

Artisan Court is perfectly placed to enjoy the very best of London Fields. You are quite literally moments from the cult-favourite Violet Bakery for your morning pastry fix, and the eclectic independent shops of Wilton Way, including locally loved Wilton Way Deli.

The green expanses of London Fields, with its heated lido and tennis courts, are just a short stroll away, as is the bustling Broadway Market. For those needing to travel further afield, London Fields and Hackney Central stations provide swift and easy access to the City and West End. Some Easthaus area favourites include:

L'Eau à la Bouche and Sune on Broadway Market for delicious eats

Studio Anatomy and Waking Dreams for pilates and functional fitness classes

The Spurstowe Arms for pizzas and pints

Pophams bakery on Richmond Road for their incredible savoury pastries and beautiful homeware store next door.
