Cyntra Place, London E8

Occupying part of a converted Victorian factory, this bright apartment lies close to London Fields. Inside, it retains many of its original features: High ceilings, Crittall windows and exposed brick capture the essence of the building's early life.

The Tour

Cyntra Place is a quiet, gated mews that lies just off Mare Street. Entry to the apartment is via a well-maintained shared courtyard.

The front door opens onto an expansive living space with a trio of windows set into an exposed brick wall. Oak boards run underfoot, and the walls are painted a crisp white.

At the rear of the space is the kitchen, formed of muted grey units, formica countertops and fully intergrated appliances. There is plenty of space for a dining table next to the kitchen, though the room's versatility allows for multiple configurations. Floor to ceiling built-in shelves highlights a sense of volume here.

From the living space is a room apt for use as a library, home study or walk-in wardrobe. The bedroom lies to the left; a handsome space with the same tall windows and exposed brick wall as the living space. On the opposite wall, a large wardrobe provides plenty of storage. A crisp, minimal feel is also upheld in the bathroom, with its white tiles and shower over the bath.

The Area

The apartment is close to the popular green spaces of London Fields (with its heated lido and basketball courts) and Victoria Park. There are many fantastic restaurants locally, including Brat at Climpsons Arch, Pophams Bakery and Violet bakery on Wilton Way.

E5 Bakehouse, on the edge of London Fields, is excellent for freshly baked artisan bread, while Mare Street Market, less than a minute’s walk from the apartment, is a thriving community hub containing a restaurant, wine bar, deli and a selection of boutique shops.
