If you lived here...

Set on a quiet residential street, you arrive via a neatly fenced front garden finished with gravel - low-maintenance as it stands, but with plenty of scope to personalise with planters as the seasons change. A metal front door adds an extra sense of security before you step inside.

The layout is immediately welcoming and practical. Rich wooden flooring runs from the hallway through the rooms, creating a calm, cohesive feel throughout. To the left is the bathroom, finished in a crisp monochrome palette with a full-sized bath and high windows that let in natural light while maintaining privacy.

The hallway also offers two generous storage cupboards, with one so surprisingly spacious that the current owners have converted it into a home office

The double bedroom measures a comfortable 121.5 sq ft and enjoys pleasant views across the communal green beyond. Nearby, the separate kitchen and reception room give the home a sense of balance and flexibility. The galley kitchen runs neatly along one wall, fitted with pale wood cabinetry, sleek black worktops and a bold red splashback that adds a welcome lift of colour. There’s even space here for a small table or breakfast bar - perfect for morning coffee or a quick bite.

The reception room spans 175.35 sq ft and is filled with light from a large window and glazed door that opens onto the enclosed, secluded communal garden. With its leafy outlook, it’s a relaxing place to spend time, whether entertaining, socialising with your neighbours or winding down at the end of the day.

A well-considered home in a central Hackney location, this flat offers comfort, character and flexibility, making it ideal for first-time buyers or those looking for a solid London base.

A word from the expert...

“I feel right at home living in Hackney, even though I am originally from Greece. You can be yourself, wear what you like and always feel welcome. The multicultural spirit shines through in the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee and Michelin star dining to parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone. Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway Market are full of community energy, great food and local makers. The marshes are ideal for dog walks, and nearby you can stop by the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer. Homes range from Victorian and Georgian houses to red brick local authority blocks and modern developments with shared roof terraces. I have truly found my place in Hackney, and it holds a special spot in my heart”.
