2 bed terraced house for sale

Kenmure Road, Hackney, London E8

Haslett House is a rare, one-off architectural home: A Near-PassivHaus, fully custom build conceived as a singular piece of design rather than a repeatable model. Built from the ground up and we believe not replicated anywhere globally, the house balances rigorous environmental performance with warm, tactile interiors and quietly confident detailing.

Extending to in excess of 100 sq m internally across three floors, with additional garden studio, basement storage and carefully landscaped external spaces, the house is engineered for longevity, efficiency and comfort. Every element-from structure to services-has been specified without compromise, resulting in a home that feels both technically exceptional and deeply liveable.
Inside


The internal layout is arranged in zones and thoughtfully, with each level clearly defined yet visually connected by a sculptural central stair.
Lower Ground Floor

The lower level forms the social heart of the house: An expansive, light-filled kitchen, dining and living space that opens directly onto the rear garden. Full-height glazing draws the outside in, while large-format porcelain flooring and exposed Douglas Fir joists give the space weight and warmth.

The bespoke kitchen is crafted in birch plywood with integrated Gaggenau appliances, porcelain worktops and matching splashbacks, centred around a flexible moveable island. Built-in joinery is seamlessly integrated, creating clean lines and generous storage without visual clutter.
Raised Ground Floor

The principal bedroom occupies the raised ground floor, enjoying a calm, elevated position with generous proportions and bespoke fitted storage.

A beautifully detailed bathroom sits alongside, finished as a fully waterproofed wet room with Porcelanosa sanitaryware, Gessi brassware and a Toto smart WC. Materials are restrained and tactile, with earthen Clayworks render softening the architecture throughout.
First Floor & Loft

Above, a second bedroom and bathroom continue the same design language, with engineered timber floors, custom doors and refined lighting. A compact loft space provides additional flexibility-ideal as occasional workspace, reading nook or storage-accessed via bespoke joinery and ladder detailing.

Throughout the house, custom birch-ply joinery, fire-rated pocket doors, clay-based wall finishes and carefully calibrated lighting create a sense of quiet cohesion rather than show. Every junction feels considered; nothing is accidental.
Technology & security


Haslett House is engineered as a high-performance building, discreetly integrating advanced systems throughout.

• Near-PassivHaus construction with reinforced concrete foundations and a high-performance timber superstructure
• Whole-home Zehnder mvhr system with hepa filtration, summer bypass and smart balancing
• Air Source Heat Pump providing heating and hot water, with whole-home water softening and instant hot water circulation
• Underfloor heating and zoned climate control throughout, complemented by discreet Mitsubishi air-conditioning to key rooms
• Three-phase electrics with multiple consumer units and EV charging to the front
• Lutron-controlled lighting and blinds, including dynamic white LEDs and scene settings
• Hard-wired fibre-to-the-property broadband, internal server, distributed Wi-Fi and integrated audio-visual system across the house and garden

Security is equally comprehensive yet unobtrusive, with biometric front-door access, video entry, motion detection, window sensors, HD cameras front and rear, and full mobile-app control with 4G backup.
Exterior & outside space


The exterior architecture is as resolved as the interior. Reclaimed London yellow-stock brickwork is paired with custom engineered brick latticework, allowing light and privacy in equal measure. Charred Acoya timber cladding, Welsh slate roofing and concealed lead guttering complete the envelope with a sense of permanence and craft.

To the rear, the garden is a standout feature. Designed by award-winning landscape architect Richard Peckham, it is arranged as a three-tier, landscaped retreat with integrated lighting, irrigation and planting. A paved dining terrace leads up through layered greenery to a bespoke garden studio, fully powered and insulated-ideal as a home office or creative space.

Additional features include infrared heating, retractable sunshade, automatic watering systems and porcelain-tiled walkways with concealed drainage. A green roof above adds both ecological value and visual softness.
