As soon as you enter your hallway you can appreciate the gorgeous finish that continues throughout - the wood paneling, column radiator, parquet flooring and wall lights set a beautifully warming tone.

You’ll love having a separate kitchen, especially such a stylishly designed one with space for dining. Everything from the fittings to the display shelving has been so thoughtfully considered, bringing a wonderful balance of tradition and convenience.

The bathroom is just as stunning, with striking graphic flooring, a vintage-style counter-top basin and a walk-in shower complete with herringbone tiling. Last but not least, the bedroom has the same pristine condition with masterful in-built storage. The perfect place to slumber.

As for beyond, this is a brilliantly thriving part of Hackney, with incredibly easy access to London Fields. Make your moving in celebration treat dinner at Brat x Climpson's Arch and then finish off with a cocktail at Night Tales Loft within Netil House. More low key night? The Pub on the Park would make a good local - it’s great for people watching.

The Hackney Picturehouse cinema is just a short distance away on foot and has a brilliant selection of blockbusters and indies alike, as well as a great cafe bar. The legendary Hackney Empire is also nearby. Transport is plentiful in this area with some excellent bus routes nearby, including the 55 into Central London, as well as London Fields station, which is served by the Weaver Overground line. If you have the time and energy, it’s a really pleasant walk into the city via Brick Lane via Bethnal Green and Shoreditch.

A word from the owners...

"We’ve absolutely loved living here because it strikes the perfect balance between buzzing East London energy and everyday calm. The flat is on a quiet, friendly street, but within minutes, you can be in Victoria Park, London Fields, or Broadway Market. There’s something for every kind of day. Mornings often start with coffee and pastries from Pophams, and weekends mean pints at The Chesham Arms, lunch at Netil Market, or browsing Broadway Market’s food and vintage stalls. When it’s time to unwind, nothing beats a run around Vicky Park, a swim at London Fields Lido (our second home!), or a long walk along the canal. What makes this area so special is the mix. You’re genuinely spoiled for choice when it comes to bars, restaurants, galleries, and green spaces, yet the street itself has a peaceful, neighbourly vibe. This flat has felt like a proper home — peaceful when you want it to be, but never far from the buzz and character of East London. We’ll miss it hugely, and hope the next owner loves it just as much as we have."
