2 bed Flat For Sale £1,150,000
This beautiful two-bedroom apartment on Richmond Road has recently undergone a sensitive refurbishment. Contemporary materials have been introduced across two generous storeys to capitalise on the natural light and volume of the apartment, arranged in a configuration that seeks to break the boundaries between indoors and out. Glazed doors to the rear conservatory and front main bedroom draw light across the whole plan, while the overall sense of peace and seclusion is emphasised by a small garden with a seating area at the front and a walled garden at the rear.
The Tour
The maisonette occupies a wonderful position on Richmond Road, minutes from London Fields and Broadway Market. It presents a typically Victorian façade to the street, with white-painted brickwork and a charming bay window defining the front elevation.
An entrance hallway shared with the upstairs apartment leads to the front door, which opens into the heart of the apartment: A large open-plan living and dining room. This has high ceilings and is wonderfully bright care of a large bay window which allows plenty of natural light in. Herringbone oak parquet runs underfoot and a sculptural concrete hearth serves as a reminder of the sensitive contemporary interventions. Adjoining the dining room at the rear of the plan is a charming conservatory, currently used as a home office and accessed via glazed doors with small stained glass panels. Steps lead down to the garden via a second set of glazed doors.
A small set of stairs leads down to the contemporary, white kitchen, which has been entirely modernised by the current owners. Sleek Corian worktops with integrated appliances and minimalist units sit alongside blue Moroccan tiles, which bring a dash of colour to the space. Glazed doors lead out to the garden. A large bathroom occupies the remainder of the plan in this section of the apartment; a generous space with white tiles and a full-size bath.
The lower ground floor is occupied by two sizeable double bedrooms, both with bespoke fitted shutters. The larger of the two can be found at the rear of the plan; this has a large walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, as well as stylish wood panelling and a lightwell to the garden. The second bedroom has an en suite shower room and built-in wardrobes, and enjoys access to the seating area at the front of the house via glazed doors. This space gets the early light and is perfectly positioned for a morning coffee.
Outdoor Space
The maisonette has a beautiful sunken seating area in the front garden, utilising some of the original brickwork that formed the house’s coal shoot to create a circular bench, which is bathed in sunlight throughout the morning. To the rear, there is a private garden with raised beds and beautiful white-brick walls, adorned with climbing jasmine, a bottlebrush tree and a mature fig tree.
The Area
Richmond Road is perfectly positioned for the best of London Fields, Wilton Way, Mare Street and Broadway Market. London Fields’ heated lido and tennis courts are a minute’s walk from the front door. There are many fantastic restaurants locally, notably Pophams Bakery, Lardo, Little Duck | The Picklery, Pidgin, and Violet Cakes on Wilton Way. Weekly markets take place at Victoria Park, with Broadway Market also a short walk along the Regent’s Canal Path. E5 Bakehouse, on the edge of London Fields, is excellent for freshly baked artisan bread, and nearby Netil Market is a thriving hub of restaurants, breweries and coffee roasters.
Hackney Central runs direct services to Stratford and Highbury & Islington on the London Overground, and London Fields offers direct trains to Liverpool Street. Bethnal Green Underground Station, easily accessible by bus, has excellent links to central London via the Central Line.
