1 bed flat for sale

Dehavilland Studios, Clapton E5

A stunning top-floor apartment with a private terrace, secure undercover parking, and a share of freehold, spanning over 1,000 sqft in one of London’s most iconic Art Deco factory conversions – The Dehavilland Studios.

This one-of-a-kind apartment has been exquisitely refurbished to feel like living inside a single piece of bespoke furniture, combining warmth while maintaining the building’s industrial edge. Custom Baltic birch cabinetry and flooring flow seamlessly throughout, with slatted walls that add texture and cleverly conceal doorways, creating a harmonious and minimalist aesthetic.

The open-plan kitchen/living area features top-of-the-range appliances, including Miele ovens (standard and combi-steam) and Siemens induction hob, gas wok burner, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer, all complemented by concrete worktops and custom slate-mimicking cabinet doors. Philips Hue LED lighting is thoughtfully integrated above the counters and within the slatted wall. A library ladder spans three walls, adding both charm and functionality. The modern bathroom boasts a slate floor and premium axor Starck fittings, while the double bedroom is accessed via a sliding glass door. This apartment’s design makes the most of its lofty proportions with a huge overhead storage area built in over the entrance and bathroom.

The Dehavilland Studios, originally designed by famed 1930s architect Sir Owen Williams, was once an aircraft parts factory. In the 1990s, Hollybrook Construction sensitively converted the building into live/work studios, retaining its Art Deco heritage and industrial character while creating truly unique homes. Located in Clapton, East London’s creative hub, the property is just a short walk from the lush Millfields Park, the River Lea Canals, and Hackney Marshes nature reserves. The area is known for its vibrant cultural scene, with independent boutiques, buzzing cafes, and acclaimed restaurants on nearby Chatsworth Road, Stoke Newington, and Upper Clapton Road.

Transport connections are excellent, with Clapton Overground Station just 0.3 miles away, providing direct access to Liverpool Street in 15 minutes. Numerous bus routes also connect the property to Stoke Newington Church Street and the City.
