1 bed flat for sale

Cicely Williams Court, Haggerston E2

Nestled on a peaceful, pedestrianised street adjacent to Haggerston Park, this bright and spacious one-bedroom apartment is situated on the first floor of a modern, well-maintained building. Offering tranquil park views from the living room balcony, it provides a serene retreat from the lively energy of nearby East London hotspots. Built in 2016, Gibbs Lane is a secure, thoughtfully designed development comprising just 23 homes, with features such as fob access, CCTV, and covered cycle storage. Although secluded, it is only moments from Columbia Road, Haggerston Park, and London Fields, offering the ideal balance between a peaceful setting and the vibrant, trendy character of East London. The apartment enjoys abundant natural light throughout, particularly in the west-facing living area where floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a balcony overlooking the park. The layout is thoughtfully arranged, with distinct living and dining zones and a kitchen recessed into one corner. Its design provides the option to add a sliding door to create a separate kitchen space, a rare feature in modern flats. The bedroom is generously proportioned, comfortably fitting a large bed, wardrobes, and a desk without sacrificing space. A large, second east-facing balcony adds a special touch and is one of only two apartments in the building to feature this, making it a perfect spot to enjoy the morning sun. The bathroom is sleek and contemporary, finished with a full bathtub and minimalist fittings. Conveniently positioned off the hallway, it is easily accessible for residents and guests alike. Two sizeable storage cupboards offer valuable concealed space, a practical addition to modern apartment living. Gibbs Lane offers excellent transport connections, with Cambridge Heath and Bethnal Green stations nearby, providing access to the Overground, Central Line, and Elizabeth Line. Nearby landmarks include Broadway Market, Columbia Road, and Regent’s Canal, while London Fields offers ample green space within walking distance. The neighbourhood is renowned for its food, drink, and creative culture. Highlights include Brawn on Columbia Road, l’eau à la Bouche deli, and contemporary dining establishments such as Rogues and Elliot’s. For something special, Michelin-starred restaurants Behind by Andy Beynon and Da Terra by Rafael Cagali are both within easy reach. On weekends, Columbia Road Flower Market and Broadway Market bring colour and vibrancy to the area with plants, street food stalls, and independent shops. Combining modern architecture, spacious proportions, and an enviable East London location, this apartment is perfect for first-time buyers, professionals, or anyone seeking a stylish, low-maintenance home in one of the city’s most characterful neighbourhoods.
