House For Sale £950,000
Positioned on the corner of Old Bethnal Green Road and Canrobert Street, this three-bedroom house is a masterclass in monochrome. Recently renovated by the current owners, the sleek interior palette makes use of materials such as marble, concrete and resin to create a contemporary home that is at once welcoming and serene. Original features including the pine floorboards and a Victorian staircase have been carefully retained, with sensitive contemporary additions introduced. The home unfolds across four floors and lies in a Conservation Area across the road from Middleton Park, with Colombia Road, Broadway Market, London Fields and Wilton Way within easy reach.
The Tour
Occupying a large corner plot, the Victorian building casts a handsome silhouette over the street below. Entrance is immediately to the open-plan kitchen/dining area, which is brilliantly bright care of large windows that punctuate the walls on three aspects. Floors are of hardwearing poured Epoxy resin, while walls are a white-painted brick that nods to an industrial aesthetic. The dining area is currently positioned centrally, although the sociable plan would suit a variety of layouts; there is also built-in bench seating at the rear of the room, where an office space is currently set up.
The kitchen wraps around the front corner of the room, where the lower sections of the sash windows have been frosted for privacy; windows throughout are double glazed. Finished to the highest standard, the kitchen has worktops of polished concrete that sit below a marble splashback; white cabinetry extends above and below to provide ample storage. There is a Smeg range cooker, as well as a built-in dishwasher. A sense of sociable living prevails, with the whole floor completely open-plan.
On the lower ground floor lies the living room, which could work equally well as a fourth bedroom. A skylight at the front of the plan allows light in, with polished concrete floors creating a cool, peaceful setting. White walls and exposed beams overhead complete the pared-back palette. There is also a large bathroom on this level, with the same polished concrete floors creating a sense of material continuity between the spaces. Entrance is through a fluted glass door that allows light to flow between the rooms; within, white tiles surround the walk-in shower, which has a rainfall shower head.
Original pine floorboards ascend to the first floor, which is home to the main bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom is illuminated by windows on two aspects that frame views over neighbouring Middleton Park and allow copious amounts of light in. Wonderfully high ceilings that retain their original ceiling rose create a sense of volume; there is a full wall of built-in wardrobes for storage. The bathroom has been realised to an impeccable standard, with a walk-in shower and separate built-in bath, a concrete double sink and a matt black heated towel rail.
Two further bedrooms are positioned on the top floor, where there is also access to loft storage. The front bedroom occupies the same section of the plan as the main bedroom, and is a similarly bright and airy space. Wooden floors and white walls create a simple backdrop for a variety of possible decorative choices; there is a full wall of storage and ample space for a desk. The second bedroom is slightly smaller but still easily fits a double bed. This space has been carpeted to create soft passage underfoot.
The Area
The house is very well situated for the best of Bethnal Green and the neighbouring locales including London Fields, Wilton Way, Columbia Road, Mare Street and Broadway Market. Hackney Road is home to an increasing number of popular restaurants and bars, including Morito, Sager + Wilde, The Marksman, and The Laughing Heart. O-Zone Coffee roasters have recently opened an all-day café in the Antipodean vein nearby, specialising in excellent coffee and pastries, as well as an ever-changing brunch menu.
The green spaces of Haggerston Park and London Fields are a short walk away. Broadway and Columbia Road Markets, with their wide array of independent shops and cafes, are also very close by. Particularly popular are Climpson’s Coffee, Donlon Books, Pavilion Bakery, Brawn, The Royal Oak and Campania & Jones. There are many fantastic restaurants towards Dalson, notably Lardo, Little Duck |The Picklery, Pidgin and Violet Cakes.
Bethnal Green (Central Line) and Old Street (Northern Line) Underground stations are equidistant, while Hoxton and Shoreditch High Street are both nearby for London Overground services. Rail services are available from Cambridge Heath and there are good bus links. Resident on-street permit parking is available.
