5 bed terraced house for sale

Parkholme Road, London Fields E8

Parkholme Road is one of those rare Edwardian houses that feels quietly extraordinary from the moment you arrive, unfolding across more than 3,067 sq ft over four beautifully considered floors, it is a home where period grandeur and contemporary family living sit effortlessly side by side.

The stained-glass front door, tiled hallway and elegant bay windows offer an immediate sense of warmth and history, details that have been carefully preserved and gently elevated over time.

At the front of the house, the reception room is calm, characterful and filled with natural light. Ornate cornicing, a marble fireplace and bespoke shelving give the space a timeless quality.

To the rear, the house opens into an entirely different rhythm. A striking contemporary extension brings together kitchen, dining and living spaces beneath expansive glazing, where sunlight moves across parquet floors throughout the day and the garden becomes part of everyday life.

The Bulthaup kitchen, finished with silestone arabesque worktops, is centred around a long island designed as much for gathering as it is for cooking. Full-width doors fold back onto a south-westerly facing garden of almost 60 feet, green, private and beautifully established.

At the far end of the garden, a separate studio has been thoughtfully added, creating a flexible space that works beautifully as a home office, creative studio or home gym.

On the lower ground floor there is a dedicated utility room, and a self-contained guest suite with private access providing flexibility and separation from the main family spaces.

Across the first floor, the principal suite is beautifully calm and filled with natural light. The bay window, complete with a built-in window seat, gives the room a softness and sense of quiet retreat. Alongside sits a bespoke hand-crafted dressing room and an en suite wrapped in House of Hackney wallpaper, adding depth, texture and personality. A further double bedroom and family bathroom complete the floor.

On the top floor, a further double bedroom and bathroom sit alongside a striking double-height mezzanine bedroom, a characterful space that lends itself beautifully to older children, guests or creative pursuits.

Practical considerations have also been carefully addressed, with air conditioning installed throughout key areas of the home, while the exterior and roof have been meticulously maintained, ensuring the house feels as cared for structurally as it does aesthetically.

Parkholme Road sits in the heart of London Fields, one of Hackney and arguably London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Broadway Market, Dalston, London Fields and a much-loved mix of independent cafés, restaurants and local institutions are all moments away, while a number of excellent state and independent schools make the area especially popular with families. Vibrant yet deeply residential, it is a part of London people rarely want to leave once they arrive.
