House For Sale £1,650,000
Forest Road, Hackney, E8

A rare to market opportunity to own a three/four bedroom house in a particularly charming, Georgian end of terrace house benefitting from a large, sunny south-east facing garden on one of London Field’s most loved roads.

Upon walking onto Forest Road, the available home really does catch ones eye. Greeted by a recently painted exterior, the home immediately grants a feeling of charm, sophistication and elegance all whilst leaving you intrigued with what you may find inside. The front garden has been well cared for by the current owner with carefully planted greenery enhancing the feeling of privacy in the reception room.

Stepping into the home, a wider than average entrance hallway leads you through to the reception room on the left or up the stairs to the first floor. A space sizeable enough to home push chairs, coats and shoes whilst still maintaining its wow factor and allowing a visual of original features which have been maintained in the home over the years. On the topic of original features, when walking through into the lounge, the high ceilings catch your attention right away along with the stripped back wooden floorboards and two large sash windows. The reception room makes a perfect haven to enjoy the tranquility of Forest Road. There is ample space for two large sofas.

There is a large dining room and kitchen with the dining area being a perfect space to host dinner parties, socialise and enjoy an evening meal aided by the large, traditional kitchen which is bright and airy and offers ample storage space. The dining area does allow access down to the cellar which is a tremendous size for storage needs and would likely be appreciated by a purchaser looking to future proof their home.

Continuing on the ground floor, there is a generous office space which could alternatively be used as a fourth bedroom within the home, as well as a separate w/c.

The large, south facing garden at the back of the property is a stunning, peaceful green space which the owner has kept incredibly well over the years and benefits from a plethora of natural light throughout the day.

Steps up to the first floor lead you through to three, well-proportioned bedrooms, all of which offer an array of storage space and some rather interesting features including two fireplace covers which have quite some history behind their installation. There is a large hallway on the first floor, the perfect space for storage or a home office.

London Fields is a comfortable walk away and London Fields lido is a lovely, all-year-round, heated Olympic-size lido, which is on your doorstep. There are a number of independent cafes, restaurants and bars nearby.

Hackney Central, Dalston Junction and Hackney Downs stations are close by along with various bus routes taking you into London.

Owners Comments:

I have spent almost twenty years enjoying the privilege of living in this house. Built in the late Georgian period when Hackney still was rural in character, it has witnessed the amazing changes that have taken place over the past two hundred years. It is set in a friendly location, with excellent transport links.
