4 bed detached house for sale

Albion Drive, Hackney, London E8

Stylish four-bedroom townhouse by London Fields.

Description
Positioned on a quiet residential street next to London Fields, this beautifully conceived mid-century townhouse has been innovatively re-configured to a design by Zoe Smith of zcd Architects. Completed in 2012, the four-bedroom family home has a rear garden and off-street parking for two cars.

Approached through slatted wooden gates that create a secure space around the entrance, the front door opens onto a wide lobby, lit by a skylight above, that provides a practical space for coats. Ahead, the ground floor opens out into a wonderfully bright living space, with a reception room on one side and a kitchen/dining room on the other. Both look onto the south-facing garden through floor-to-ceiling glazing, with access through a large sliding door.

The kitchen has been uniquely designed for the space, a combination of concrete worktop and Douglas Fir cabinetry. The floor throughout is a self-levelling resin. Also at ground level, is a shower room and large utility space.

A central staircase cuts laterally through the space to the first floor. There is a large bedroom at the back (currently configured as a second reception room), with views over the garden, and a second bedroom to the front that has a run of built-in shelves.

The master bedroom, with a striking set of sliding doors that conceal wardrobes and a separate WC, is positioned on the top floor, along with the fourth bedroom and large family bathroom. A warm-toned industrial parquet floor runs throughout the bedroom levels.
