3 bed Flat For Sale £750,000
This three-bedroom apartment on Rendlesham Road is perfectly positioned for the best of Clapton, Dalston and Stoke Newington. Interior spaces unfold over the ground floor of a Victorian terraced house, flowing towards a long garden at the rear. The palette is one of simple, contemporary design, with pared-back white walls and oak parquet flooring in a herringbone pattern across the main living spaces. Hackney Downs is a few minutes away, and a huge variety of restaurants, cafes and bars are within easy reach.
The Tour
Rendlesham Road is a quiet road running east from Dalston to Clapton. This apartment lies within a terraced house positioned on a gentle bend on the road behind a small front garden. Its white facade works in a subtle contrast with the stock brick exteriors of its neighbours. Entry is to a communal hallway, which leads the way to this apartment's front door.
The apartment is centred around the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, a long space flowing towards the garden at the rear. There is ample room for separate dining and living areas - the current owners have a dining area and two separate living areas within this space - and the versatile plan would work well for a variety of possible layouts. Four sash windows punctuate the right-hand wall, and bifold glazed doors open directly to the garden, creating a seamless transition between indoors and out. Oak parquet flooring in a herringbone pattern extends throughout, and a large skylight at the rear welcomes further light in.
In the middle of the plan lies the kitchen, which has been realised to a fantastic, contemporary design. Marble worktops sit atop navy blue cabinetry, with a steel extractor fan and hob adding an industrial touch. There is ample storage in the built-in cabinetry, as well as a separate built-in cupboard for further storage. The space is brilliantly sociable due to its open nature, allowing for easy entertaining.
The main bedroom is positioned adjacent. This has the same herringbone parquet flooring, creating a sense of material and visual continuity between the spaces. There is direct access to the garden through a large glazed door, which opens to a cobbled path that leads to the main outdoor space. This bedroom also has an en suite shower room with a playful tiled floor and a large walk-in shower.
The two other bedrooms lie on the ground floor, at the front of the plan. Both have been decorated with a simple combination of white walls and cream-coloured carpets, creating a neutral backdrop for a variety of decorative choices. There are white shutters around the windows for privacy. The main bathroom is also situated on this floor, realised using a combination of geometric floor tiles, white rectangular wall tiles, and tongue and groove wall panelling. There is a built-in bath with a large showerhead.
Outdoor Space
A wonderful extension of the living space, the garden seamlessly flows from the rear of the house. The spaces have been subtly delineated through variations in flooring: The front section is paved, while the middle section is decked; at the rear lies a tiled area, where pale blue and white geometric tiles by Otto clad the floors and walls. Raised borders, full of thriving ferns and palms, surround the space, and a large palm tree at the rear provides a focal point. There is built-in spotlighting on the floors and walls, as well as below the palm tree, creating a beautiful spectacle in the evenings.
The Area
Rendlesham Road is a 20-minute walk from Chatsworth Road, which offers a lively gauntlet of independent shops, cafes and restaurants such as Jim’s Cafe and specialist suppliers l’Epicerie 56, London Borough of Jam and Hackney Draper. Clapton is home to legendary wine bar P. Franco, as well as numerous other coffee shops, cafes and bars. There are plenty of good pubs nearby, including The Star of Hackney Downs, The Pembury Tavern and The Elderfield.
The apartment is also conveniently positioned for all the amenities of Stoke Newington and Dalston. The Jolly Butchers pub nearby is something of a local institution, specialising in craft beer and excellent pub food. Church Street is around 15 minutes away and is home to a vast array of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, including The Spence Bakery, Whole Foods and The Good Egg. Esters, a favourite with locals, is an excellent neighbourhood café serving breakfast, lunch and coffee, while slightly further afield is Primeur; recently described as ‘the perfect neighbourhood restaurant’, it serves modern European cuisine and natural wine on Petherton Road.
Hackney Downs is around an eight-minute walk from the apartment and offers a wonderful expanse of green space and tennis courts open to the public. Abney Park and Cemetery is a 13-minute walk, while the larger green space of Clissold Park and Hackney Marshes are slightly further afield.
The closest station is Rectory Road (Overground). Also within easy walking distance are Clapton, Hackney Downs and Hackney Central, offering Overground lines to Stratford, Highbury & Islington and Liverpool Street.
