If you lived here...

An attractive Victorian frontage in warm London brick gives the home a confident presence within the terrace, with decorative detailing adding character and a pleasing sense of arrival. Inside, the hallway introduces a reception room arranged around a fireplace that draws the eye and anchors the space beautifully. High ceilings enhance the sense of volume, while the wide bay window allows generous daylight to pour in, highlighting the proportions and creating an inviting setting suited to relaxed evenings and entertaining alike.

Continuing through, the bedroom features impressive ceiling height and glazed doors opening directly onto the balcony, with views to the greenery of the garden beyond. Just off this room sits an ensuite WC, neatly positioned within the layout. To the rear, the kitchen and dining area unfolds with a natural sense of flow, offering ample work surfaces and glazed doors that open straight out to the garden, encouraging an effortless transition between indoors and out during the warmer months. Beyond, the garden combines a paved terrace with a lawned area framed by mature trees and established planting, providing an attractive backdrop suited to both quiet mornings and lively gatherings.

Upstairs, the additional bedroom benefits from a broad bay window and a pleasant outlook, its proportions lending themselves to a welcoming and restful atmosphere. Completing the home, the bathroom features tiled walls and a full-size bath, with a window allowing soft daylight to filter through.

Life here places you within easy reach of a wonderful choice of places to eat, drink and unwind. Just moments away, Casey’s Bakery is a favourite for morning coffee and fresh pastries, while Mambow is widely celebrated for its bold Malaysian cooking and warm, relaxed atmosphere. For an easy evening closer to home, The Clapton Hart and The Elderfield are both popular local pubs, each with a loyal following and generous outdoor space. You are also well placed for Clapton Craft’s carefully curated beers and or a glass wine at 107 Wine Bar.

Garden

A word from the owner...

"For us, it’s the living room and the garden that truly set this home apart. The living room is so generous with its grand bay window, beautiful natural light and views of Clapton Pond and the fountain. The mature trees in the park opposite provide both an acoustic shield and a delicious backdrop, changing colours with the seasons. The split-level layout, along with the first-floor bedroom and bathroom, gives the property the feel of a house rather than an apartment. There’s enormous flexibility in how the rooms can be arranged and used; over the years we’ve explored different configurations as our needs have evolved.

The garden is wonderfully peaceful, with open skies, long views, mature planting and a real sense of seclusion. It’s our calm and private retreat. It’s wider than many gardens in the neighbourhood and has no houses opposite so feels very expansive.

We love Lower Clapton for its exceptional green spaces, as well as the shops, restaurants and pubs. Hackney Downs, Millfields Park, Hackney Marshes and the canal network are all nearby and part of our day to day. Palm 2 is a local corner shop like no other and we visit on a daily basis as well as other independents. Chatsworth Road is also within easy walking distance.

Hackney Central is nearby and we enjoy being able to walk to the Hackney Empire and Picture house. Transport links are fantastic, Clapton Station is 7 minutes away, Hackney Central also a short work, and great bus connections also. Our children attend excellent local schools, primary and secondary, and we’re very much hoping to stay in the area."
