Flat for sale in London E5, 2 Bedroom

Found moments from Hackney Downs, this standout two-bedroom flat forms part of a handsome Victorian building. Spanning the top two floors the apartment has been thoughtfully redesigned with a beautiful eat-in kitchen and two en-suite bathrooms. The finish is contemporary and inviting but retains a respectful nod to its Victorian origins.

Sandwiched between the green expanse of Hackney Downs and Clapton’s flourishing Lower Clapton and Chatsworth Roads, this is a fabulous place to establish roots with a wealth of wonderful cafes, restaurants, shops and transport links at your fingertips.

Brickworks Says

The current owners have done a phenomenal job of reconfiguring the layout, transforming three pokey bedrooms into two generous ones, both with en-suites. At nearly 1000 ft2 the flat is already big, but the updates have served to ensure that every inch is maximised. A third bathroom incorporates a utility area with the washing machine and dryer neatly tucked away. Being up on the upper floors the light is excellent, and the spacious living room/eat-in kitchen is a triumph; a delightful space to spend time socialising or relaxing.

As far as entertainment, these days you’d be hard pressed to find a better location. Just a few moments away is Hackney Downs with its glorious green spaces, plus tennis courts and playground. In the opposite direction, you have the creative haven that is Clapton with its almost endless supply of cafes, boutiques and acclaimed restaurants. A welcoming community which is diverse, vibrant and neighbourly. This is proper London in all its glory.

The Owners Say

We have loved every minute of living in this flat and will be incredibly sad to leave. Having made renovations when we bought the flat four years ago, it is now a beautiful, bright and modern space.

As two siblings living together having both private and communal spaces was very important to us. With the large open plan living room, two spacious bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms we have had the perfect best of both worlds.

The Lower Clapton area has a real local feel to it, and it can be a pleasure to simply go from one coffee shop to another. It’s not short of greenery either; we’ve spent many a summer afternoon soaking up rays on the Downs or wandering down to Lea Valley. And in winter, you can always hole yourself up in the excellent Clapton Hart. We’re both planning to stick around.
