3 bed flat for sale

Haybridge House, Clapton E5

A recently refurbished, three bed, triple-aspect warehouse apartment extending over 2,600 sq ft, across two levels within Haybridge House, one of Hackney’s most popular factory conversions. With exceptional finishes throughout, huge open-plan living spaces, original Crittall windows, an internal atrium, air conditioning and three en-suite bedrooms, this is a rare opportunity to find such a substantial East London loft presented in turn-key condition.

Entering on the first floor, the apartment opens into an open-plan kitchen, dining and reception space occupying much of the entrance level. Large original Crittall windows bring excellent natural light into all areas of the apartment, while the structural columns and the sheer scale of the floorplate emphasis the connection to the building’s industrial origins.

The refurbishment has been carried out to a high standard, with considerable attention given to the quality and consistency of the materials, joinery and fittings throughout. The contemporary kitchen has bespoke dark timber cabinetry, beautifully detailed stone worktops and a substantial island, Miele and Forster apliances, complemented by wide-board oak timber flooring. The result is a particularly refined interior without losing the openness and character that make the building so distinctive.

One of the apartment’s defining features is the large internal atrium above the kitchen, creating a dramatic double-height void and allowing light to travel between the two floors. Original loading doors open onto a Juliet balcony, providing another reminder of the building’s former industrial use. A separate utility room, bathroom and WC complete the entrance level.

The upper floor provides three generous air conditioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The principal suite is particularly substantial, with a luxury bathroom incorporating a freestanding roll-top bath, twin basins, separate walk-in shower and micro-cement finishes. Bespoke cabinetry provides extensive integrated storage, while underfloor heating serves the bathrooms. The same restrained palette and high standard of materials continue throughout the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Haybridge House is a late-Victorian former toy factory, converted in the mid-1990s into 21 individual loft apartments and sold as shells. Original factory windows, generous floorplates and mezzanine arrangements remain defining features of the building, which also has a cobbled communal courtyard, gated residents' parking and a longstanding creative community drawn to its unusually large and flexible spaces.

The building is well placed for Springfield Park, the River Lea and Hackney Marshes, while Upper Clapton and the wider Clapton neighbourhood have an excellent and growing selection of independent places to eat and drink. Tram Store occupies the former Clapton Tram Depot, with Mosaic and the Crooked Billet also nearby, while Clarence Road and Lower Clapton offer specialist coffee shop Lodestar and a strong selection of independent restaurants. Chatsworth Road is within easy reach for its cafés, shops and Sunday market. Clapton station provides direct London Overground services to Liverpool Street.

The property is offered chain free, with a share of freehold and two allocated parking space within the gated car park.
