The Grand Tour
The entrance opens to a welcoming central hallway that connects to a wonderful open-plan kitchen-living-dining area, with original cornicing delicately tracing the ceiling overhead. Tall sash windows draw natural light deep into the plan, subtly amplifying the amber pigments of the timeworn pine floorboards that extend underfoot.
A considered kitchen is well-equipped, with bespoke storage units set above and below solid wood worktops, and convenient shelving installed above the dining area. The kitchen is finished with white tiling and a stainless-steel splashback, while appliances include XXX and XXX.
Two generously proportioned bedrooms are found at either side of the living area, where period features are complemented by a simple colour palette and soft carpet, lending a serene atmosphere. The principal bedroom has ample light drawn in by two sash windows, while the second bedroom is similarly finished.
The bathroom is well-appointed with a shower over bath enclosed by brown mosaic tiling, and solid wood surfaces. An earthy colour scheme grounds the space.
Out and About
Hackney Road is brilliantly positioned between Haggerston, Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath. The green expanses of Haggerston Park and Hackney City Farm are a few minutes’ walk away, providing a green escape in the heart of the city. London Fields is close by for a walk around its vibrant, 31-acre park, to finish at the bustling Broadway Market or, perhaps, with a dip in the lido.
The apartment is within walking distance of an almost endless number of popular restaurants and bars, including The Marksman, Sager + Wilde and The Laughing Heart. Nearby Broadway Market and Columbia Road offer a wide array of independent shops and cafes, including Climpson’s Coffee, Donlon Books, Campania & Jones and the newly opened Tiella Trattoria.
Hackney Road has excellent transport links, with Bethnal Green (Central Line) and Cambridge Heath or Hoxton (Overground) both a short walk away.
