Cricketfield Road, Hackney, London

This artfully restored one-bedroom apartment occupies the ground floor of a striking period property in the heart of Clapton, complete with a south-facing landscaped rear garden. Inside, period character and contemporary updates are perfectly balanced, enhanced by immaculate decor and thoughtful storage throughout.

The location is equally impressive - you’re as close to green spaces as you are to buzzing bars and eateries. And with Clapton station just a short stroll away, Central London and beyond are always within easy reach.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

At 356 square feet, this apartment’s layout has been exceptionally well considered, offering a surprising sense of space, enhanced by high ceilings and wonderfully solid walls.

The reception is flooded with natural light, perfectly highlighting the exposed brickwork and timber flooring. Thoughtful design touches, such as bespoke shutters, add character, while the kitchen area provides ample sleek units, smart fittings and integrated appliances.

The large double bedroom continues the stylish theme, with neutral decor and built-in storage, while the bathroom has been just as carefully designed, featuring terrazzo-style flooring and tiling, brass fittings and a walk-in shower.

To the rear, a south-facing garden offers a decked patio, storage and an enviable sense of seclusion. Step out the front, however, and you’re right on the cusp of much-loved Hackney Downs Park, with Millfields Park and Hackney Marshes also within easy walking distance.

As for urban amenities, you’ve got some of Hackney’s top rated food and drink destinations within a few minutes, from the dim sum institution My Neighbours the Dumplings and much lauded Vietnamese Hai Cafe to eclectic brewery Blondies and top rated coffee shop Lodestar. You’ve even got one of London’s coolest movie theatres, the Castle Cinema, less than a mile away. As well as these much-loved haunts, you’ll find exciting new ventures constantly cropping up and keeping you on your toes, so exploring will never get boring.
