3 bed Flat For Sale £625,000
This excellent three-bedroom apartment is positioned on the fourth floor of Aumbrey Apartments, a riba award-winning development by Matthew Lloyd Architects which adjoins St Mary of Eton Church in Hackney Wick. Floor-to-ceiling glazing surrounds the open-plan living spaces, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood in. There is a beautiful communal terrace with far-reaching views over Victoria Park, in addition to manicured communal grounds to the rear of the building.
The Building
Completed in 2014, Aumbrey Apartments is one of three blocks that have been integrated across the site of a 19th-century Anglican church. It is defined by its diamond-patterned brickwork; the patterning of traditional red, glazed pastel-blue and oyster-white bricks is an homage to the Victorian style of masonry known as ‘diaper-work.’ This façade is augmented by reconstituted stone architraves, creating a sense of harmony with the neighbouring ecclesiastical architecture.
The scheme won Matthew Lloyd Architects a Housing Design Award, a riba National Award and a New London Architecture Award. The housing replaced existing unused church buildings, resulting in a dynamic mix of historic Grade ii-listed architecture and striking contemporary additions. At the centre of the development, beyond a beautiful limestone arch, is a courtyard with a box-edged green space overlooked by the vicarage, a florist’s workshop and stall, and further apartments.
The Tour
Access to the building is gained via a private gated entrance and courtyard that flanks the buttressed walls of the church. The apartment itself occupies the whole of the fourth floor of the building.
Internal accommodation extends to 855 sq ft, configured around a large open-plan kitchen, living and dining room with wonderful views of the Olympic Park in the distance, as well as the adjoining church. Engineered floorboards with underfloor heating run throughout and natural light floods in through timber-framed floor-to-ceiling glazing. A sleek, minimal kitchen with white cabinetry is configured towards the rear of the space.
There is a palpable sense of flow between the bedrooms and open-plan living spaces. The main bedroom has dual-aspect windows and is positioned at the front of the plan; it has an en suite bathroom and plenty of built-in storage space. Two further double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom lie at the rear of the plan.
Outdoor Space
A spacious communal roof terrace with southerly views towards Victoria Park can be found on the third floor. There are also beautifully manicured communal gardens nestled between the historic church and the contemporary apartment building at the rear.
The Area
Aumbrey Apartments is located in Hackney Wick, between Victoria Park and the River Lee. Since the 2012 Olympics, Hackney Wick has seen a significant influx of cultural investment. There are numerous restaurants and bars including the award-winning Cornerstone, Silo, Crate Brewery and mother vegan cafe. The Here East campus is a short walk away and operates as a co-working hub and cultural centre, while award-winning theatre and music venue The Yard is also close by. The amenities of the Olympic Park are close at hand, where the East Bank, a new world-class cultural quarter, is now under construction, with new facilities for the V&A Museum, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, the bbc and the London College of Fashion, as well as a new campus for ucl.
Victoria Park is a short walk away and is surrounded by a number of good pubs. On the north side of the park is Victoria Park Village with its excellent range of restaurants and shops including The Ginger Pig butchers, Bottle Apostle and Jonathan Norris Fishmongers.
The apartment is an eight-minute walk from Hackney Wick station which runs London Overground services to Highbury & Islington in around 10 minutes and Stratford International in approximately six minutes.
