Positioned on a quiet residential street next to London Fields, this beautifully conceived mid-century townhouse has been innovatively re-configured to a design by Zoe Smith of ZS Architects. Completed in 2012, the four-bedroom family home has a rear garden and off-street parking for two cars.

Approached through slatted wooden gates that create a secure space around the entrance, the front door opens onto a wide lobby, lit by a skylight above, that provides a practical space for coats. Ahead, the ground floor opens out into a wonderfully bright living space, with a reception room on one side and a kitchen/dining room on the other. Both look onto the south-facing garden through floor-to-ceiling glazing, with access through a large sliding door.

The kitchen has been uniquely designed for the space, a combination of concrete worktop and Douglas Fir cabinetry. The floor throughout is a self-levelling resin. Also at ground level, is a shower room and large utility space.

A central staircase cuts laterally through the space to the first floor. There is a large bedroom at the back (currently configured as a second reception room), with views over the garden, and a second bedroom to the front that has a run of built-in shelves.

The master bedroom, with a striking set of sliding doors that conceal wardrobes and a separate WC, is positioned on the top floor, along with the fourth bedroom and large family bathroom. A warm-toned industrial parquet floor runs throughout the bedroom levels.

The house is located within a short walk of London Fields and Broadway Market, with its weekly organic farmers’ market, gastro pubs, restaurants and shops. Nearby Victoria Park Village is home to the Ginger Pig butcher and a variety of excellent convenience stores, pubs and restaurants.

Haggerston station (London Overground) and London Fields BR station provide convenient access to the City, West End and Canary Wharf. Dalston Junction has been proposed as a station on the Crossrail 2 route. Queensbridge Primary School is rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.
