Colvestone Crescent, Hackney

A beautifully presented two bedroom Victorian conversion in the heart of Dalston, arranged over three floors with two bathrooms and utility room. The generous layout gives each part of the home its own space, while Dalston’s independent food spots, pubs and cultural venues are all close by.

IF YOU LIVED HERE…

Your entrance is on the second floor, where there’s a separate utility room before stairs lead up to the main living level. Here, the kitchen and reception room is bright and open, with warm wood flooring and two large sash windows. Sleek white cabinetry keeps the kitchen simple, while there’s plenty of room for a dining table and seating. A bathroom with a bath and shower above also sits on this floor.

The first bedroom is particularly generous, with soft carpet, a large sash window and space for furniture beyond the bed. From here, stairs lead to a separate study, giving you a useful workspace away from the main living areas.

Up in the loft, the second bedroom stretches across much of the top floor, with wood flooring, a rooflight and its own ensuite shower room. There’s fitted storage along the eaves, as well as further built-in cupboards, making good use of the space beneath the roofline. Across all three floors, white walls, natural wood and plenty of daylight give the interiors a calm, cohesive feel.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

"We have been living on Colvestone Crescent for 20 years and love our home and the area. The whole flat was redesigned with architect Michael McNamara (LaMa Studio) to convert the loft space into a unique living and work space, with aerial views of the gardens and nearby St Mark church. Our other favourite part of the renovation is the mezzanine in the second double bedroom. Of course, it’s also a great street and area. There is a thriving community on Colvestone Crescent and everything Dalston has to offer on our doorstep. Yet, because it’s a no-through road, the flat is peaceful and quiet. This has been the perfect home for us to grow in. From our early days hosting dinner parties and film screenings, to our family home and the place where our two children are flourishing. So, whilst it’s time to move on, we will honestly miss it.”
