House For Sale £1,700,000
Positioned on a quiet no-through road is this light-filled three-bedroom Victorian terraced house, only a short walk from Victoria Park and London Fields. Interiors are largely pared-back and considered, with walls painted a soft off-white, maximising the period proportions and highlighting the original features. A thoughtfully planted garden lies to the rear, orientated to the west, thus receiving the best of the afternoon and evening sun.
The Tour
The handsome building forms part of an impressive Victorian terrace defined by London stock brick and large sash windows dressed in white stucco. The house is accessed directly from the pavement via a short set of stairs. There is also a separate entrance on the lower-ground level.
The front door opens onto a long hallway with a staircase ahead; the tranquil living area lies adjacent. A wonderfully open room, its dual-aspect layout allows an exceptional quality of natural light to permeate throughout the day. The Victorian marble fireplaces have been reinstated, creating striking focal points against the waxed floorboards. Off-white walls highlight the carefully preserved cornicing, original wood panelling and beautiful shutters surrounding the front sash window.
The kitchen and dining room unfolds on the lower-ground level. A poured concrete floor adds a seamless, contemporary aesthetic to the room, warmed by underfloor heating. The bespoke joinery has been painted Worsted by Farrow and Ball, complementing the kitchen's sleek stainless steel cabinetry and waxed timber worktops. A wood burner sits neatly within the fireplace. Glazed doors open from here onto a paved patio with steps leading directly to the garden. There is also a WC and plenty of storage on this level.
Two spacious double bedrooms sit on the first floor. The larger of the two is at the front of the plan and is currently configured as an office. Marble fireplaces and stripped-back floorboards continue here, adding a tremendous sense of flow and continuity to the interior spaces. A useful shower room replete with slate tiles also lies on this level.
The main bedroom occupies almost the entirety of the top floor, save for the large contemporary bathroom with a freestanding oval-shaped bath and walk-in shower. The ceilings on this level have been removed to create higher ceilings while exposing the original wooden beams of the house, adding a sense of warmth to the material palette. Exposed brick walls add further texture.
Outdoor Space
The garden flows from the kitchen on the lower-ground level to a tiled patio. A short set of steps leads up to the main garden area, where a shingle path snakes towards a broad variety of established trees and shrubs, which sit neatly within Corten steel flowerbeds. There are several different seating areas providing multiple vantage points to sit and read or entertain during the warmer months.
There is an additional access point from the first-floor landing, with steps leading down.
The Area
Two of London's most popular green spaces, Victoria Park and London Fields (with its heated lido), are both a five-minute walk away. Weekly food markets take place at Victoria Park and Broadway Market - with its plethora of independent shops and cafes including Climpson and Sons. Columbia Road Flower Market is also a short walk away.
There are many fantastic local restaurants, notably Elliot's, Bright, Mare Street Market, Cafe Cecilia and Bistrotheque, a slightly further walk to the south. E5 Bakehouse, on the edge of London Fields, is excellent for freshly baked artisan bread, as is The Bread Station and nearby Netil Market is a thriving hub of restaurants, breweries and coffee roasters.
London Fields and Cambridge Heath Overground stations are equidistant for quick trains into Liverpool Street. Bethnal Green Underground (central line) is roughly a ten minute walk. Numerous buses run along Mare Street towards central London, as well as from Well Street/Cassland Road into the City and Canary Wharf.
