This thoughtfully conceived two-bedroom apartment on the popular Navarino Road is located on the top floor of a Victorian building. This apartment has been cleverly renovated to maximise utility and light; the minimal open-plan kitchen anchors the home and connects the dining and sitting room cohesively, creating a wonderful sense of flow. A decked south-facing terrace has views towards back gardens and mature trees; the perfect spot for sunbathing or alfresco dining. The ever-popular London Fields is a five-minute walk away.

The Tour

Navarino Road is a coveted, tree-lined street that is characterized by handsome Victorian terraces, built with London stock brick and large sash windows. The apartment is located on the second floor. The front door opens onto a corridor, leading into a bright open kitchen, illuminated by a glazed door connected to a south-facing terrace. MicroCrete wraps around the kitchen countertop; appliances are hidden behind white cabinet doors. There are open wooden shelves and a pegboard displaying items of affection. The kitchen countertop has a peninsula that gently divides the kitchen and the dining space, where there is space for a table of six. Across from this is a sitting room that comfortably fits a sofa and a side table. Two large windows open to treetops and invite light into the living spaces, making the space the perfect retreat from city life. Engineered wooden floors bring an extra layer of warmth to the room.

Located on the other end of the corridor, the primary bedroom has a pair of sash windows looking out to Navarino Road. The bright room has been sensitively furnished, with neutral carpets and pale pink walls. There is built-in cabinetry and plenty of space for a king-size bed. A quiet second bedroom is located around the corner. The same carpet runs underfoot in this room, and a window looks out onto the terrace. Currently configured as a nursery, it can easily fit a double bed.

The bathroom has been thoroughly renovated. It has a bathtub with a glass screen and black fittings complemented by the grout between the subway tile in the same tone. Tiles with colourful flecks run underfoot, and there is space for additional storage besides the sink.

Outdoor Space

The south-facing terrace has a wooden deck with views onto the verdant neighbouring back gardens with tall mature trees. With ample space for planters and outdoor furniture, the secluded terrace is an outdoor sanctuary. London Fields is a five-minute walk away, and Hackney Downs Park is an 11-minute walk away.

The Area

The flat is located in central Hackney, just to the north of the popular London Fields and bustling Mare Street, and close to the green spaces of Victoria Park and the Regent’s Canal path. There are many fantastic restaurants locally, notably Lardo on Richmond Road, the recently opened Angelina’s on Dalston Lane, and Pidgin and Violet on Wilton Way. Weekly markets take place at Victoria Park and Well Street, and Broadway Market has a reputation for some excellent places to eat and drink and hosts a food market on Saturdays. The E5 Bakehouse, on the edge of London Fields, is excellent for freshly baked artisan bread and grains.

Hackney Downs station is five-minutes walk away with direct service to Liverpool Street. Hackney Central runs direct services to Stratford and Highbury & Islington on the London Overground, whilst London Fields also offers direct trains to Liverpool Street. Bethnal Green Underground station, easily accessible by bus, has excellent links to central London via the Central Line.
