3 bed terraced house for sale

Balls Pond Road, Hackney, London N1

A Grade II listed Georgian townhouse constructed in 1820, standing proudly on this historic terrace on Balls Pond Road. This exquisite four-story residence embodies a masterful blend of historic charm and contemporary craftsmanship.

A meticulous renovation has redefined its interiors, celebrating the home’s architectural heritage while introducing modern refinement. Stepping beyond the imposing front entrance, framed by classical columns, the home immediately evokes a sense of grandeur. Original period details—high ceilings, sash windows, and ornate plasterwork—coexist harmoniously with a carefully curated palette of natural materials, industrial-inspired steel-framed glazing, and exposed brickwork. The lower ground level unfolds into a beautifully reimagined kitchen and dining space, where the home’s original bones remain intact. The bespoke kitchen pairs rich timber cabinetry with brass hardware and stone floors, all centered around a striking exposed-brick range alcove. A bank of Crittall-style windows ensures a seamless connection to the adjoining dining room, an intimate yet functional space for gatherings. Heavy flagstone floors, painted ceiling beams, and a working fireplace elevate the room’s rustic elegance, reflecting the home’s timeless charm.

Ascending to the raised ground floor, light pours into the double-aspect reception rooms, where refined cornicing and grand proportions offer an elegant backdrop for everyday living. An original marble fireplace takes center stage within the space, softened by an interplay of neutral tones and natural textures. Black-painted accents, including window frames and stair balustrades, bring a bold contrast to the soft hues of the walls. The first and second floors host three tranquil bedrooms, each exuding understated luxury with their warm, neutral finishes and original detailing. The principal suite is a sanctuary of calm, with soft natural light filtering through full-height sash windows that open onto a balcony. The adjoining bathroom is a minimalist masterpiece, seperated by a bespoke, panelled, dressing area, featuring an ornate stand alone bathtub, steel-framed mirror, and brushed brass fixtures. There is also a walk in shower, clad which enjoys beautiful marble tiles.

A beautifully landscaped South facing garden extends to the rear, providing an oasis of greenery in the heart of the city. Enclosed by aged brickwork and flourishing with mature planting, the space offers an idyllic retreat for al fresco dining, relaxation, or quiet contemplation. A raised terrace provides a sun-drenched vantage point with plenty of London landmarks that can be found within the Cityscape views, while climbing vines and pockets of lush foliage add a sense of seclusion and serenity.
