“Voluminous and tranquil spaces flow with ease”

Clapton’s sought-after Elderfield Road is the setting for this handsome four-bedroom house. Thoughtfully renovated by its current owner, it comprises a series of generous, flowing spaces that are at once contemporary and in keeping with the home’s Victorian origins. A light-filled extension at the rear dissolves the boundary between indoors and out, bringing the varied shades of green from the southwest-facing garden into the living spaces. The house is a short walk from Hackney Downs and Clapton’s much-loved cafés, bars and restaurants.

The Tour

The house sits mid-terrace on a peaceful residential road. Entry is to a welcoming hallway, which leads to the double reception room on the left and the generous kitchen extension at the rear.

The living room is a tranquil space with a wonderful sense of volume. It receives beautiful morning light care of its east-facing position, which floods in through a huge bay window. The solid oak floors are laid in a smart herringbone pattern, with a large marble fireplace providing a handsome focal point. The high ceilings and walls are painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Ammonite’. There is built-in shelving and bespoke cabinetry here, as well as space for a dining table in front of glass doors to the kitchen.

A brilliantly contemporary space, the kitchen has been executed to an extremely high standard. Floors are polished concrete; there is a breakfast bar along the large island and further bench space behind. The skylights above have been made using special cooling glass to keep the room at an ideal temperature on hotter days. Built-in appliances include a Miele dishwasher and an ATG oven. Between the kitchen and garden is a second living space, which flows easily to the outdoors. Underfloor heating has been added throughout.

Stairs with their original bannister ascend to the first floor. The bright family bathroom sits here, with a bath and separate walk-in shower; floor and wall tiles are solid marble. This floor is also home to two bedrooms – the main at the front, and a second at the rear. The main bedroom has solid oak floors and is brilliantly bright, with two new sash windows. The cornicing is also original, extending around Farrow & Ball-painted walls.

Two further bedrooms are situated on the top floor. The front bedroom has built-in wardrobes and walls in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Strong White’. The spaces share a bathroom, concealed by a pocket door, which utilises the same marble palette as the first-floor bathroom.

Outdoor Space

The house has a beautiful garden that faces southwest so receives a fantastic light throughout the day. It is home to a mature olive tree, a yucca tree and a purple blossom tree, which flourish in the warmer months. There is ample space for a seating area, which makes an excellent spot to sit and watch the sunset.

The Area

Elderfield Road is brilliantly located in the heart of Lower Clapton. The much-loved Chatsworth Road is a three-minute walk away and has a lively gauntlet of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, such as Pivaz and specialist suppliers L’Epicerie 56, London Borough of Jam and Hackney Draper.

Elderfield Road is also a 10-minute walk to Hackney Downs and a short walk to a fantastic selection of shops, restaurants and bars, including Kate Sheridan, Pages of Hackney, Lucky & Joy, and Casey’s bakery. Plenty of good pubs are nearby, including The Star of Hackney Downs, The Pembury Tavern and The Elderfield.

The greenery of Hackney Downs Park is a 10-minute walk from the house, with the larger green spaces of Hackney Marshes around the same distance away in the other direction. Victoria Park is slightly further afield yet still within easy reach.

The closest station is Hackney Central, offering Overground lines to Stratford, Highbury & Islington and Liverpool Street. Clapton and Hackney Downs Overground are both also within easy walking distance.
