If you lived here...

A deep blue front door sets the tone for this thoughtfully designed one-bedroom apartment. Step inside and you’re welcomed into the heart of the home—a bright, 16ft open-plan kitchen and reception room, filled with natural light thanks to two generous windows and a west-facing aspect. Warm oak flooring runs throughout, grounding the space and softening its clean, modern lines. The layout is cleverly proportioned, offering dedicated zones for cooking, relaxing, and dining—all without compromise.

The kitchen is neatly arranged along the rear wall, with black cabinetry, white worktops, and a striking hexagonal tile splashback in graphic black, creating a sleek, contemporary feel. Integrated appliances keep the space streamlined and functional.

At the rear, the double bedroom carries through the same understated style. It’s calm and quietly elegant, with another sash window for soft morning light and more warm oak underfoot.

The bathroom delivers contemporary style with confidence. A white suite stands out against dramatic black walls, while the walk-in shower features a Crittall-style glazed screen and sleek black fittings. White wall tiles with bold black grout add a graphic edge, and classic terrazzo flooring brings texture and personality to the space.

You’re literally mere minutes away from the open greenery of Hackney Downs park and a 20-minute stroll takes you to London Fields, where the heated lido is open year-round.

This is a home that balances practicality with personality—easy to live in, and easy to love.

A word from the expert...

“I feel right at home in Hackney, although i’m originally from Greece. You can be anyone, wear whatever you like and always feel welcome. The multiculturalism here comes across in the diversity of the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee shops and Michelin star restaurants to beautiful parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone. Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway market are filled with great community energy, international delicacies and local artisan creations. For dog lovers, the marshes are beautiful for afternoon and weekend walks with your four-legged friends. And while you’re there, you can stop by the river Lea at the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch, or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer. Properties in the area vary from characterful Victorian and Georgian houses to charming local authority red-brick blocks and beautifully designed modern developments with communal roof terraces. I have found my home in Hackney and it holds a very special place in my heart.”
