If you lived here...
Part of an attractive Victorian terrace, this modern one-bedroom top-floor home underwent a considered and immaculate refurbishment in 2020, resulting in a quietly refined interior. On entering the property, you’re met by a hallway that links each room and includes a neatly placed storage cupboard, helping the layout feel thoughtfully arranged. A consistent palette and contemporary finishes bring a subtle sense of cohesion without limiting personal expression, enhanced by Hager brushed steel switches and sockets, and further elevated by Aqualock Swiss 12 mm laminate flooring laid throughout the home’s principal rooms and hallway, reinforcing its unified feel.
The home’s thoughtful aesthetic becomes immediately apparent in the living room, where a statement pendant adds character overhead and the window ensures the room feels instantly welcoming. In the kitchen, graphite cabinetry forms an elegant contrast against the quartz worktop, with the polished marble herringbone floor introducing depth underfoot. Integrated high-quality German appliances maintain a smooth, uninterrupted finish, and the distinctive four-light pendant adds a stylish flourish that completes the room’s composed modern feel.
The bedroom provides a wonderfully comfortable place to unwind, its generous window drawing the eye towards leafy views. Soft tones create an easy sense of harmony, offering a restful setting that feels calmly grounded. Completing the home, the bathroom is finished with Pietra Grey floor tiles and full-height Statuario Calacatta walls. The illuminated mirror cabinet lends a contemporary touch, complemented by a large 8 mm glass walk-in shower with a Grohe Cube Perfect Shower Set and a recessed shelf for toiletries.
Additional benefits include loft access for storing larger items, as well as bicycle parking within the entryway and plentiful on-street residents’ parking nearby, along with a Vaillant boiler installed in 2021. Altogether, the property presents a beautifully balanced and carefully updated home ready to enjoy.
Tucked into a peaceful residential street, the home enjoys exceptional access to the vibrant character of the surrounding neighbourhood.

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”.
