A Spacious Sanctuary
As you step through the front door, you're immediately greeted by a warm and inviting hallway that connects seamlessly to every room in the home, giving you a sense of flow and openness. To your left, you enter a stunning open-plan living room and kitchen space. The room exudes both comfort and elegance, with sleek wooden flooring that runs throughout, adding to the home’s warm, urban charm. The living area is spacious, with ample room for a large, cosy sofa, a TV setup, and even a small work-from-home space. Despite being an open-plan area, the room feels distinctly divided, thanks to its generous proportions. On one side, the kitchen is a stylish, efficient space, complete with sleek cabinetry and contemporary fixtures. The fitted oven and cooker are perfect for home-cooked meals, and there’s plenty of storage to keep everything neatly tucked away. What truly makes this space shine are the stunning arched sash windows that line one side of the room. These unique Victorian-style windows flood the room with natural light, even on the cloudiest of days, creating an airy, bright, and inviting atmosphere. On sunny days, the south-facing aspect fills the room with gorgeous, golden sunlight, making it feel like a true haven of relaxation.
Just outside the living room, you’ll find the bathroom. Fully decked out in tiling, it’s a space designed for both function and comfort offering underfloor heating. The bathroom features a luxurious bathtub, along with a heated towel rack, sleek toilet, and a stylish hand basin. There's even some overhead storage, keeping the space clutter-free while adding to its clean, efficient look. The neutral tones and modern finishes make it feel both intimate and calming.
The Serene Bedroom
Adjacent to the bathroom is the main bedroom. This cosy yet airy space also features beautiful wooden flooring, with a wooden bedframe and matching cupboards that add to the room's natural warmth. The large sash windows allow an abundance of fresh air and light to pour in, creating a peaceful and inviting ambiance. The room offers a built in wardrobe, ensuring additional storage whilst keeping the space uncluttered. This bedroom feels like a stylish, calming sanctuary.
A lovely touch to this home is the communal roof terrace, which is shared with the apartment above. This charming, secluded space is perfect for sipping your morning coffee with views of the surrounding neighbourhood offering a sense of connection to the vibrant Hackney area. (the roof terrace is not included within the lease plan or demise but is accessible for both apartments)
