2 bed Flat For Sale £540,000
This bright and airy apartment is on the second and top floor of a late-Georgian terraced townhouse on the Columbia Road end of Queensbridge Road.
The terrace is mirrored on the opposite side of the road giving a grand appearance. You enter via the original steps to the front door whilst access to the rear communal garden and bike store is round the corner on Dunloe Street via a secure gate with key code.
The architect owner has designed and remodelled the apartment with an attention to detail and using contemporary materials with the important goal to maximise space and storage. Two chimney breasts have been removed to square off the living room and to allow the creation of two double bedrooms whereas the neighbouring apartments in the terrace only have one and a half bedrooms.
The east-west aspect fills the spaces with light. The two double bedrooms have the sun-rise and the living spaces have the sun-set.
The bathroom is centrally positioned off the hallway which links the bedrooms to the living spaces.
The L shaped hallway offsets the livelier living spaces from the quieter bedrooms. The small set of stairs just before you get to the kitchen give a homely feel and help to separate these two types of spaces. Neatly concealed storage lines the hallway and provide spaces for a washer/dryer, mechanically ventilated airing cupboard, coat hanging rails and tool storage.
The efficiently configured kitchen, with gas hob, functions easily and the raised breakfast bar hides any plates, waiting to go into the integrated dishwasher, from the sitting / dining area. The charcoal coloured, small format, tiles and black painted plinths in the kitchen give a sense of depth and subtly set this space apart from the open plan living room.
A built-in window seat makes the most of the 'squared-off' living room, adds extra storage and gives flexibility when entertaining guests. The dining table has been designed to fit in 3 different locations depending on the mood or number of guests (a larger tabletop is hidden in the hallway storage cupboard).
New lighting, switches and electrics throughout have been thoughtfully designed to give the right light when and where you need it. Gallery style track lights in the bedrooms and living spaces give maximum flexibility and concealed LED lighting is fitted in the kitchen and bathroom to light surfaces and to emphasize the space.
The neighborhood is easily connected to Shoreditch and Brick Lane and lovely walks along the canal take you to Broadway Market & London Fields and Victoria Park a little further east.
Local eateries include The Marksman, Campania & Morito. Bistrotheque and Bright are a short walk away along with Ozone Coffee Roasters & their coffee bar and eatery on the other side of Haggerston Park.
Queensbridge Road has recently been resurfaced and made cycle safe and also has a new pedestrian crossing linking directly to the park. Starting the day with an early morning walk to hear the cockerels of Hackney City Farm and a walk through the paradise like, little known, gardens of Haggerston Park does wonders for the mind and body. The park also has a purpose-built wood-chip running track, lake, and tennis courts.
Hoxton Overground and Central Line and Northern Line are close by and residents parking is available at a low cost.
