3 bed flat for sale

London Lane, London Fields, London E8

This expansive three-bedroom penthouse, overlooking the historic London Fields, is a contemporary paragon with distinctive retro flair.

Standing in front of the building, one is immediately struck by its commanding cubic design.

The white-walled entrance corridor breaks open like a crucifix, softened by the warm pine doors and vintage brown furnishings.

The main hub of the penthouse -- a 35ft open-plan kitchen reception -- is, in itself, a glorious observatory. Lit triumphantly by massive panoramic windows, the surrounding area -- an exciting agri-industrial world of bristling trees, green parks, railway tracks and skyscrapers -- can be gleefully studied or hidden away by vertical shutters that feel charmingly imitative of 80’s galleries.

The kitchen is gloss-white and meticulous, opening out onto a private, wooden-slatted balcony.

The primary bedroom, with its en-suite, is a generous size and has its own concrete and glass balustrade terrace.

The rest of the penthouse consists of a second and third bedroom, both generous and spectacularly bright, and a main bathroom.

Located in the East London area of Hackney, London Fields is a trendy area with a huge selection of bars, cafes and markets and home to many celebrities. The award-winning park, from which the area gets its name, offers 31 acres of grass, meadows and tree-lined paths and has devotedly served the community since the 13th century.
