If you lived here...

Your 150 square foot reception room sits to the front of your home, with two large sash windows that fill the space with natural light. An elegant white mantelpiece and hearth oversees soft cream carpet and walls are finished in pale rose pink. Next door you'll find a handsome double bedroom with another bright sash window, a crisp white colour scheme and more of that velvety carpet underfoot. A bank of mirrored wardrobes curves around the room and offer plenty of extra storage space. Out on the landing, there's enough space for a home working station and a sunny skylight bathes the space in daylight.

Your pristine, contemporary bathroom comes next. In here you'll find floor to ceiling glossy white wall tiles, a modern white suite with vanity unit under the washbasin and a chrome mixer shower over the tub. Your kitchen sits to the rear of your apartment and is decked out with mint green splashbacks, charcoal flooring and worktops and smooth cream cabinets. There's an integrated oven with a gas hob and concealed extractor hood. Opening up the patio door, you'll step out onto your first floor terrace and head down the staircase to a gravelled outdoor seating area with a picnic table and bench.

Hackney Downs Park is only seven minutes away on foot, where you'll find green open fields, tennis and basketball courts and a fantastic pub on the opposite side, The Star By Hackney Downs. This community gastropub has a fairground themed interior and a sheltered terrace overlooking the park, so you can enjoy the friendly, vibrant atmosphere and a tasty craft beer or cocktail whatever the weather. For dining out, we'd recommend oren, a relaxed, intimate restaurant that serves Mediterranean inspired plates and ethically sourced wines. Best of all it's an easy two minute stroll from your front door.
