Strand Building, 29 Urswick Road, London, E9

2 bedroom apartment in an historic art deco building

Description

Set within Hackney’s iconic Art Deco Strand Building, this beautifully renovated two-bedroom flat combines period character with contemporary design. Originally built in 1925 as Hackney Electricity Demonstration Halls and Offices, the building was converted into residential apartments some seventy years later and remains a distinctive feature of the local architecture.

Situated on the second floor, the property is accessed via an attractive communal hallway and a striking pink stairwell, setting the tone for the considered interiors within. The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room features a soft pastel palette, complemented by walnut cabinetry, a bespoke hanging brass bar rack, and thoughtfully designed living space. Double doors lead through to the principal bedroom, where parquet flooring adds warmth and character, with a second bedroom providing further accommodation.

Further benefits include access to a communal courtyard and underground parking.

Service charge is currently approximately £6,000 per annum to reflect major works to the building. This level is anticipated to remain for a further two years before reducing to standard service charge levels of approximately £3,000 per annum.
