A Home to Relax and Unwind
The flat feels considered rather than generic, with crisp white walls, a striking original exposed brick wall, a grey corner sofa, and a Smart TV in the upstairs living and dining room. Tall timber sash windows pull in garden light, underfloor heating keeps things warm underfoot, and the sun-trap roof terrace just off the living area is planted with yuccas and ornamental grasses and dressed with bold orange tub chairs for slow mornings and golden-hour evenings.

The Layout
A communal front door, shared with one other flat, leads into a hallway where the bedroom and shower room sit on the ground floor. A light timber staircase rises to the kitchen, living area, and roof terrace above.

• Living and dining room: First-floor open-plan space with the exposed brick feature wall, high ceilings, sash windows, grey corner sofa, Smart TV, and a small round dining table for two, with direct access to the terrace.

• Kitchen: Compact gloss-white kitchen with induction hob, full oven, extractor, fridge freezer, kettle, generous worktop, wine glasses, and stocked tea and coffee, with a window above the worktop looking onto the terrace.

• Bedroom 1: Sun-filled ground-floor double bedroom with a wide bay window, built-in wardrobes, retro bedside tables, warm bedside lamps, a Himalayan salt lamp, and fresh linen and towels.

• Bathroom: Ground-floor shower room with a glass-screened shower, wall-hung WC, walnut vanity, mirror, and modern tiling, with shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel provided.

• Outdoor space: Private roof terrace with artificial lawn, glass balustrade, lush potted planting, and orange tub chairs with a small side table, set above the treetops.

Good to Know Before You Book
This is a two-floor flat inside a Victorian terraced building, so you should be comfortable on stairs. The bedroom and shower room are on the ground floor and the living area, kitchen, and roof terrace are upstairs via a light internal staircase. The front door is shared with one other flat in the building. There is no parking at the property and the surrounding streets are permit only, so arriving without a car is by far the easiest option; the nearest paid public car parks are around Hackney Central, roughly 10 minutes away. The roof terrace overlooks neighbouring homes, so please keep noise considerate, particularly in the evenings. The owners and their family use the property on occasion and have lived on this road for a number of years. Check-in is self-service via a smart lock, with your unique code and full access instructions sent ahead of arrival.
