The East End has transformed dramatically over the last decade, becoming a creative, cultural and commercial hub that people from all over the city gravitate towards to socialise, work, and live. As such, the property market here has soared, and with it, the need for a new breed of estate agency. That’s where EastHaus comes in: keeping up with the times, it is the bridge between a traditional and online estate agent. The team are dedicated to promoting the fiercely independent East End in all its diverse glory, and anyone who wants to promote our favourite part of town is a friend of ours. Each week, we’ll be sharing our highlights from EastHaus, showcasing the enviable selection of homes they have on offer.
This week’s Property of the Week is an unimaginably gorgeous 2-bedroom Clapton maisonette
Encompassing the ground floor and garden of a Victorian terrace, the current owners have remodelled the property to let in a huge amount of light, creating a modern, airy feel with rustic touches including stripped wooden floors and exposed brickwork, whilst high ceilings, large sash windows and full length French doors to the private rear garden give a light and airy feel. Complete with a rolltop bath, set in a room that looks bigger than the last bedroom we inhabited, the bathroom is one of our favourite rooms in the flat.
Overlooking Millfields Park, at the northern end of Chatsworth Road, sits a row of smart but unassuming Victorian houses. Behind one of the doors however, all is not as it first appears. This particular house has been split in two and the garden flat is rather unique.
A number of reclaimed and recycled materials have been incorporated to create unique storage solutions and innovative design features including; wardrobes and drawers made from reclaimed wood and wine boxes, with exposed copper piping used to form curtain rails and conceal cabling.
The master bedroom is situated at the front of the house and is interconnected with the second bedroom by beautifully ornate Indian wood doors. The rooms can be opened up to provide one large suite or closed off into two separate rooms.
The open plan living space encompasses a bespoke kitchen with a traditional butler’s sink and range cooker, and has been opened up with floor to ceiling doors to provide access to the large private garden with both a lawn and decked area. The bathroom has been extended and modernised to provide a modern twist on its Victorian roots.
Occupying an enviable location opposite Millfields Park with the River Lea and Hackney Marshes, just beyond with the cosmopolitan mix of independent shops, bars, restaurants of Chatsworth Road and Brooksby’s Walk just moments away. The property also sits in the catchment area for a number of good schools including Rushmore Primary School, Millfields Community School and Baden-Powell School.
This two-bedroom maisonette is for sale through EastHaus at £699,000
