Isabella Road, London, E9

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Ascend the stoop of this attractive Hackney home to find the upper-ground floor's double reception rooms, separated by original doors. Built-in cabinetry frames the fireplaces, while a terrace just beyond awaits for an end-of-day drink. Downstairs is where life naturally gathers: a contemporary kitchen flows into an impressive sunspace, where a glazed roof fills the room with light.

There's another reception room here too, alongside a tucked away, atmospheric bathroom. Outside, the garden strikes that elusive balance between tended and unruly, with a herringbone brick patio and soft borders. The upper floors continue the home's thoughtful rhythm. Two good-sized doubles are joined by a third room that works well as a nursery, study or guest bedroom. A shower room sits at the very top, while a utility room takes care of practicalities below.

Set in Clapton Square Conservation Area, the property forms part of a historic neighbourhood recognised for its distinctive village atmosphere. The Chesham Arms, one of Hackney's best-loved pubs, sits at the end of the road, while Lower Clapton, Well Street and London Fields are all a short stroll away. The London Overground is around 10 minutes away, for when you need to get further afield.

THE OWNERS SAY

We've genuinely loved everything about living here, it was a dream home. And we plan on moving from one dream life to another, very different one, in a country village.

There's a really strong sense of community across the two streets - Isabella Road and Mehetabel Road - with street parties every year that bring everyone together. And we've enjoyed having so much on our doorstep, from amazing independent eateries that span the globe’s cuisine, to excellent coffee and local breweries.

We will leave here with a heavy heart, and will sorely miss the community and the local pub at the end of the road.

Recent work:

They also extended the rear of the property, added an infill extension, and created an additional bathroom in the loft. The kitchen and main bathroom have been replaced, while the garden has been redesigned and landscaped. Most recently, the front of the house has been re-rendered.

Getting around:
Hackney Central (Mildmay line, Z2) is just a 10-minute walk away, providing services to Stratford, Highbury & Islington, Richmond and Clapham Junction, while the pedestrian link to Hackney Downs offers swift connections to Liverpool Street and beyond. The area is also exceptionally well served by bus routes and, for cyclists, there's a network of quiet residential streets and protected cycle routes.

Schools:
St John and St James CofE Primary School is located on Isabella Road itself, while other sought-after primary schools, including Rushmore Primary, are also within easy reach. There are a number of well-regarded secondary schools nearby, all of which contribute to Hackney's strong reputation for education, including Mossbourne Community Academy and Clapton Girls' Academy.

Onward plans:
The current owners are moving to the countryside. They have had an offer accepted on a home with no onward chain.

Anything else:
Clapton Square Conservation Area was established in 1969. It is centred around the elegant Georgian Clapton Square and the landmark St. John's Church. The area is celebrated for its beautifully maintained green spaces and impressive collection of Georgian and Victorian architecture.

The property has a ground source heat pump, an energy-efficient heating system that has the potential to reduce energy consumption and heating bills.
