The location brings together the best of this part of East London: The famous Victoria park is close at hand, plus independent cafés, bakeries and food shops on Chatsworth Road, Hackney Wick close by, and easy access to the Olympic Park with its growing cultural quarter. Restaurants such as Cornerstone, Silo and Crate Brewery are within reach, as are Here East and The Yard theatre. Homerton Station is only minutes away, connecting directly to Stratford International and Highbury & Islington on the Overground.
The Indoors
You step first into a welcoming hallway, complete with yellow painted stairs and sliding wooden doors that lead into the main living space. The living and dining room feels instantly inviting, freshly painted, warmed by engineered oak boards underfoot, and featuring a striking Victorian fireplace with exposed brick that sets the tone for the whole house. Bay windows fill the room with light and there s practical built-in storage to keep everything tidy.
The kitchen sits just beyond and has been thoughtfully extended to create a bright space made for cooking and gathering. Grey units with brass finishes, granite worktops, a large Smeg cooker with five gas burners, and skylight-style roofing ensure plenty of light and style. The crittal-style glass doors open wide to the garden, letting fresh air flow through. Other useful touches include a dishwasher, clever cabinetry, and decorative tiling.
Up the stairs, you ll find two comfortable bedrooms and the main bathroom. Both bedrooms have wooden flooring, the first bedroom has enough space for a king sized bed, and fitted wardrobes while the second bedroom can be used as a guest room or kid's bedroom. The bathroom stands out with its Victorian roll-top bath, chequered marble flooring, and crisp fittings, the look is classic with thoughtful modern touches like a heated rail and neatly designed storage.
The top floor has the largest bedroom airy and full of light thanks to tall windows and a Velux roof window. Storage lines the width of the room, and there's still easily room for a king size bed. The shower room on this floor is finished in emerald-toned tiles with sleek fixtures, a walk-in shower, and a warm, stylish feel.
The Outdoors
The garden has been arranged like a continuation of the house paved throughout for easy upkeep and framed by well-established planting. Designed by Elizabeth Tyler, it features grapevines, ferns, grasses, and jasmine that thrive in warmer months and create a sheltered setting. It s a comfortable spot for morning coffee on the built-in bench or evenings spent with friends. Though currently in its winter phase, come spring it transforms into a little green escape tall, dramatic foliage and a sense of complete privacy.
Out front, the house keeps its charm going with an off-black gloss door, a Victorian style lantern on a sensor light, and convenient parking options including a paid bay directly opposite for visitors.
