If you lived here.....

Up on the fourth floor, you'll find a bright and comfortable home with warm wood flooring, soft neutral tones and plenty of natural light. The reception room has a relaxed, homely feel, with a large window drawing in daylight and plenty of space to settle in with a good book, entertain friends or simply put your feet up. The separate kitchen sits just off the hallway, where crisp white cabinetry contrasts beautifully with dark worktops and tiled flooring. There's also room for a dining table, perfect for leisurely breakfasts, evening meals or catching up over coffee.

Both bedrooms are generously sized, giving you plenty of freedom to make the spaces your own. The principal bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed and additional furniture, while the second offers similar flexibility, whether you're planning a guest bedroom, children's room or dedicated workspace. The bathroom is finished in neutral tiling, with a bath and shower overhead, while a separate WC and useful hallway storage make everyday living that little bit easier.

With approximately 670 square feet to enjoy, the flat offers a comfortable balance of living and bedroom space. Its top floor position within a secure building is another welcome feature, especially with so much happening just beyond your front door.

A word from the expert..........

“I feel right at home living in Hackney, even though I am originally from Greece. You can be yourself, wear what you like and always feel welcome. The multicultural spirit shines through in the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee and Michelin star dining to parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone. Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway Market are full of community energy, great food and local makers. The marshes are ideal for dog walks, and nearby you can stop by the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer. Homes range from Victorian and Georgian houses to red brick local authority blocks and modern developments with shared roof terraces. I have truly found my place in Hackney, and it holds a special spot in my heart”.
