2 bed flat for sale

King Edward's Road, London E9

This voluminous live/work apartment is on the second floor of a 1920s-built former clothing factory between London Fields and Victoria Park. The hallmarks of its warehouse origins remain in situ, from pivoting Crittall windows to soaring exposed concrete ceilings. Dual-aspect windows and a south-facing orientation flood the apartment with light and frame long views towards the City.

The Tour

5 King Edward's Road is among Hackney’s most desirable warehouse conversions, comprising 89 individually designed homes. This apartment is on the second floor and is accessed via a staircase or lift.

Entry is to a long hallway with tall ceilings and plenty of bespoke cabinetry. There is also a self-contained storage space tucked away above the entrance lobby. Dual-aspect, double-height Crittall windows draw attention towards the primary living space, where the apartment's diverse material palette of exposed brick, concrete, brass and oak comes into full force.

Tucked beneath a mezzanine level, the kitchen is at the fore of the room. L-shaped units demarcate the space and are partly lined with brass. Open shelving has been added to a window above the sink, providing handy display space while drawing light into the area.

A fluted internal window slides open behind the kitchen, allowing natural light to seep into the bathroom beyond. As well as an oval-shaped bath with brass accents, the room has a walk-in shower. Glimpses of the City are framed by a window here.

The main sleeping area is on a galleried mezzanine level, accessed via a discreet staircase from the entrance hall with plenty of open shelving space for books. A second ground-floor bedroom is currently used as a home office and has a broad built-in desk and tall shelves slotted into its alcoves. Ceilings soar overhead in this room and an original Crittall windows has treetop-skimming views.

The apartment also has a designated parking space in the building’s secure underground car park included in the lease.
