3 bed flat for sale

Spurstowe Terrace, London E8

This bright three-bedroom apartment is on the top floor of a building on Spurstowe Terrace in Hackney. It is finished to an exceptional standard: Engineered oak is used throughout, and broad sheets of glazing beckon in plenty of light. A wraparound balcony with far-reaching views has space for growing potted plants and dining outdoors.

The Tour

Spurstowe Terrace is a residential street moments from Hackney Downs station. This building is entered on street level, via a communal entrance from which a lift and stairs ascend to the apartment's front door on the fourth floor.

Inside, dark engineered oak floorboards laid in a herringbone pattern extend, a stark contrast to the white-painted walls. High-quality fittings and fixtures have been added throughout.

A large open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is at the end of an entrance hallway. There is full-height glazing on two aspects; a sliding door here opens to the wraparound balcony. The kitchen is on one side of the room, with L-shaped charcoal grey-coloured cabinets, and integrated appliances, including a four-ring induction hob, oven, fridge and freezer.

There are three double bedrooms accessible from the hall; all have large windows and built-in wardrobes with integrated lighting. Two of the bedrooms have en suites decorated with grey terrazzo-style white tiles and walk-in rain-style showers. Finished in the same style, an additional bathroom sits just off the hall. All three have skylights that draw in plenty of light.

Outdoor Space

A long wrap-around terrace stretches along the south and west sides of the apartment, providing an ideal spot for a balcony garden to thrive. Views from here stretch out towards Canary Wharf and the City.

The Area

This apartment is excellently placed in Hackney. Pembury Tavern is around the corner and has craft beers and pizza by Ace Pizza. Vintage shop Chase and Sorensen is also nearby.

Local favourites include Violet, Wilton Way’s Deli, Fran, The Spurstowe Arms, and Sesta, all just a short stroll away on Wilton Way. Especially close is the wonderful Casa Fofo, along with the likes of Oren, Mangal II, Uchi, Mambow and Lucky and Joy.

The greenery of Hackney Downs, London Fields (with its heated lido) and Clissold Park are all close at hand, while the wilder open spaces of Hackney and Walthamstow Marshes are only slightly further afield. The wonderful Dalston Curve Garden, positioned on the site of a disused railway line, is a haven for flowers and wildlife.

Hackney Downs is effectively next to the house, while Hackney Central is around a five-minute walk away. Dalston Junction can also be easily reached and there are plenty of bus routes locally.
