Property description


This fun and functional hidden gem suits professional couples or solo tenants looking for an instant home. It might be the place for you if you're bored of £xtortionate period conversions with crumbling infrastructure or sick of dazzling white, new-build $hoeboxes with endless teething problems.

Instead, this 1970s maisonette combines the affordability of an apartment with the ambiance and layout of a house (2-up, 2-down). Sturdily built of classic 'London Yellow' brick exterior, inside each vivid room paints a different atmosphere, united by hardwood flooring, exposed borders and period radiators throughout. Selected panes display unique glass handmade in Haggerston, designed and created by local craftspeople.

Available fully furnished, Airb&b-style; ready to move in and start enjoying East London living. Superfast fibre broadband, wifi, unlimited heating and hot water are included in the rental price. Green electricity and water are included in the rental price with capped amounts to support sustainable usage.

Located in a quiet residential area in the heart of multicultural Hackney, it is a relaxing yet stimulating base from which to commute or explore the city in any direction, work from home or decompress.

Close to Haggerston train station, Broadway Market, London Fields (with Olympic-sized 50m heated lido), Regent's Canal, Haggerston Park, Dalston, it is then a short hop to Victoria Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, Stratford City Westfield East, Stoke Newington, Shoreditch, Brick Lane, Liverpool Street, Old Street...

The experienced and ethical private landlord offers an efficient, personalised service with flexible terms to suit your individual circumstances. Airb&b Superhost rated 4.9 and 9/10 on Booking . Com ("Haggerston Hideaway").

References will be requested and extensively checked for each tenant.

There are no hidden fees. Everything is included except for council tax which Hackney Council requires is paid by whoever is residing in the property. Currently around £90 pcm for single occupancy, £120 for two or more residents.
