Offered with a share of the freehold, this south-facing apartment pairs beautifully curated interiors with the character of a historic mill conversion. Generous ceiling heights and large industrial windows create a wonderful sense of light and volume, while access to a landscaped communal courtyard offers rare outdoor space in this vibrant part of East London.
Set within the iconic Lion Mills on Hackney Road, this bright first floor apartment is part of a sensitively converted 19th-century former mill. Once home to textile manufacturer Henry Warden, who produced silk handkerchiefs, scarves and other garments for the local furniture and clothing trades, the building has been carefully converted to retain its industrial character, including exposed brickwork, soaring ceiling heights and large windows that flood the interiors with natural light.
Inside, this one bedroom home has been thoughtfully designed to blend contemporary finishes with the building’s heritage. The open-plan living space is bright and welcoming, with light streaming in through south-facing industrial windows and warm wooden flooring throughout. The kitchen combines navy cabinetry, stainless steel surfaces and soft pink tiling, with a central island for cooking and casual dining. A mint green cupboard adds a playful contrast, while open shelving and carefully chosen details bring warmth and texture to the space.
The bathroom is finished in a soft, tonal palette with pink and white tiling, matte black fittings and a walk-in shower framed in steel. The bedroom is positioned at the rear of the building and offers a peaceful retreat.
Lion Mills is arranged around a courtyard exclusively for residents, with mature planting and plenty of greenery set against the backdrop of striking brickwork.
Area:
Perfectly positioned on the borders of Bethnal Green and Hackney, this home is surrounded by some of East London’s most loved spots. Ozone on Emma Street is a favourite for coffee and brunch, while The Common on Old Bethnal Green Road offers a more laid-back setting for great coffee and cakes. Just along Hackney Road, Sager + Wilde serves carefully selected wines and seasonal plates in a pared-back space, and The Marksman is a much-loved local pub known for its outstanding Sunday roasts.
Broadway Market, Columbia Road and Regent’s Canal are all within easy reach, along with London Fields, Victoria Park and Haggerston Park. Hackney City Farm and Netil Market add to the area’s mix of green space and independent culture.
Cambridge Heath Overground is approximately 0.3 miles away, and Bethnal Green Underground (Central Line) is around 0.6 miles, with several bus routes running along Hackney Road for quick access into Shoreditch, Liverpool Street and beyond.
