House For Sale £975,000
This stunning family home is meticulously designed, set within one of Lower Clapton’s premiere streets, with a leafy and secluded private rear garden. Remodelled by Fleet Architects to fit perfectly with an ever-growing family life, this extended and reconfigured period conversion is a must-see.
Spanning the raised ground and lower ground floors of a handsome Edwardian house, the property comprises up to four double bedrooms, with the option of using the sitting room/study as a fourth bedroom, as the large rear extension provides all your living accommodation needs.
The ground floor rear extension is a real showstopper. This open-plan living space opens up from a double-height bi-folding custom door, bringing you into the stylish integrated kitchen, dining area and connected reception area – a sumptuous 23’ x 16’ space with a custom Diespeker terrazzo underheated floor.
The space boasts 3.3m ceilings, two large skylights, bi-folding bespoke oak framed doors and exposed steel beams, all adding to its impressive feel. The space has been designed to encapsulate the garden with views of mature trees and planting. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or entertaining late into the evening, it’s a versatile oasis useable all year round.
The main bedroom is on the upper ground floor, with a gorgeous original fireplace and vast new double-glazed sash windows that flood the room with south-facing sunlight. On this floor, there is also a charming sitting room/study – which doubles as a guest room, with an entire wall of custom oak-clad storage for keeping clutter out of the way, linking to built-in oak shelving integrating the TV. This room also has a new double-glazed heritage sash window.
Two double bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, with fitted wardrobes and a stylish terrazzo family bathroom. These bedrooms have contemporary Velfac double-glazed custom-designed windows, with the rear bedroom opening up to a courtyard – perfect for extra planting or, as currently used, secure bike storage. The front double room opens to a dedicated courtyard, which floods with south-facing sunlight.
The attention to detail is exceptional, with custom shelving throughout the home and clever storage built into the stairs and laundry area. Additional benefits include a downstairs WC.
Thornby Road is a broad, tree-lined street with a fantastic sense of community amongst its residents. Set within the heart of Lower Clapton, the property sits within the Inner Zone’ for Mossbourne Community Academy, recently selected by the Sunday Times’ Good Schools Guide as London's ‘highest performing non-selective comprehensive’. The property also sits inside catchments for two other Ofsted Outstanding schools: Clapton School for Girls and City Academy, Hackney.
Nature is a stone’s throw away from leafy Millfields Park with its cricket pitch, tree circle, children’s playgrounds and a short stroll to the tranquil River Lea, Middlesex Nature Reserve and Hackney Marshes.
The eclectic mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants along Chatsworth Road and Lower Clapton Road are all close by, and speedy transport links serve the City and Central London, all readily available from this Zone 2 location.
The property is sold with a share of freehold.
