If you lived here....

Step inside and into a reception room at the front, where a window fills the space with natural light. Soft, neutral décor and wooden flooring create an easy going atmosphere, while the staircase rises neatly to the first floor.

Beyond the reception room you’ll find a recently refurbished bathroom, finished with contemporary fittings and a deep Japanese bath, followed by a second bedroom that would work well as a guest room or study. At the rear, the kitchen stretches the full width of the property, offering plenty of worktop and storage space, with room for dining. A bay window draws in extra daylight, while a door opens directly onto the private garden, an enclosed outdoor space for morning coffee, summer lunches or pots and planters.

Upstairs, the entire first floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom, creating a calm and private retreat away from the living areas. Its generous proportions leave flexibility for furniture, while the separation between the bedrooms provides privacy for guests or anyone working from home.

Word from the expert...

“I feel right at home living in Hackney, even though I am originally from Greece. You can be yourself, wear what you like and always feel welcome. The multicultural spirit shines through in the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee and Michelin star dining to parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone. Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway Market are full of community energy, great food and local makers. The marshes are ideal for dog walks, and nearby you can stop by the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer. Homes range from Victorian and Georgian houses to red brick local authority blocks and modern developments with shared roof terraces. I have truly found my place in Hackney, and it holds a special spot in my heart”.
