Terraced house for sale in London E8, 5 Bedroom

Detailed Description

A quite simply remarkable and one of a kind three storey, five bedroom Victorian townhouse set on a popular residential turning just a stone's throw from the open green spaces of London Fields.

The vendors undertook a large architecturally-designed renovation and extension project, sympathetic to the period of the property and what has become to be the inspiration behind the famous House of Hackney brand. The moment you walk into the front garden, you can see the high attention to detail with no expense spared. Through the front door and a great deal of thought has been taken to create a flowing space which has seen major structural changes in the form of a central staircase with cast iron spindles that serves as the spine of the home. Sumptuous parquet flooring, high ceilings, fireplaces and intricately moulded cornicing and ceiling roses are just some of the period features of the property.

The ground floor extension is inspired by a glasshouse and comprises a welcoming hallway with Moroccan-style arches that flows to a stunning kitchen/dining area. A wonderful space for family time as well as entertaining, the kitchen is flooded with natural light through ceiling windows and benefits from cleverly implemented window boxes with botanical plants, a common theme throughout the house that has been named Loddiges in homage to Hackney's palm house during the 1800's. Two sets of arched French doors open to a serene landscaped garden that also boasts a mosaic tiled finish. A double through-reception and w/c completes the ground floor.

The first floor comprises three double bedrooms and a striking foliage-themed bathroom with roll-top bath and high rise w/c. The top floor houses two further bedrooms, currently used as a studio/office space and further family TV room respectively.

Horton Road is just moments from London Fields which has its own outdoor Lido and tennis courts. Broadway Market's array of boutique shops, eateries and galleries is just a stroll across the park with Wilton way even closer. Transport links are excellent and include London Fields National Rail (less than 10 minutes to Liverpool Street) and Hackney Central Overground station.
