Brenthouse Road, E9

Arranged over two floors, this two-bedroom duplex apartment on Brenthouse Road, Hackney, E9, offers approximately 794 sq ft of accommodation, with an unconventional layout that makes an interesting alternative to a traditional two-bedroom flat.

The arrangement is reversed, with the two bedrooms occupying the lower floor with eco friendly cork flooring throughout, and the main living accommodation positioned above. An internal birch plywood staircase connects the two levels, giving the apartment a more house-like feel and creating a natural distinction between the living and sleeping areas.

The upper floor is particularly appealing, with the removal of the original partition wall opening up the living space and allowing natural light to flow more freely through the room. The resulting open outlook, with unobstructed views towards the horizon, adds another dimension to the space. It is a pleasant setting for everyday living, with plenty of room to relax or entertain.

Making good use of the available accommodation, a former storage area has been repurposed as a home office. This provides a separate place to work, study or pursue other interests, without needing to dedicate one of the bedrooms to a desk. There is also a generously sized separate storage unit, offering useful additional space for larger belongings and with sufficient capacity to accommodate multiple bicycles.

An additional benefit for residents is the opportunity to purchase a yearly parking permit at a particularly low cost, providing access to the allocated estate parking. This offers a convenient and economical parking option for those with a car.

The location is another important part of the appeal. Brenthouse Road is well placed for the independent shops, cafés, restaurants and other amenities that give this part of Hackney its character. Broadway Market is a popular destination, particularly at weekends, with its mix of food stalls, independent retailers and places to eat and drink. Closer to home, Mare Street provides a good selection of everyday shops and services, whilst Wilton Way and the surrounding streets are known for their independent cafés and neighbourhood businesses.

There is also plenty to enjoy outdoors. London Fields provides a welcome expanse of green space, with sports facilities and its popular outdoor Lido, whilst Victoria Park offers further space for walking, cycling and spending time outside. The nearby Regent's Canal provides another route through the area, connecting a number of Hackney's best-known neighbourhoods.

For transport, London Fields Overground and Hackney Central stations are both within reach, providing connections across London. Bethnal Green Underground station also offers access to the Central line, with local bus routes providing further options for travelling around the capital.
