2 Bed Flat For Sale

This beautifully bright two-bedroom apartment overlooks a peaceful churchyard in Bethnal Green. Carefully renovated in recent years, it comprises a series of calm, pared-back spaces that make for a secluded retreat from the city beyond. It's also just a short walk from the greenery of Weaver's Fields and Haggerston Park, as well as a multitude of excellent restaurants, bars and cafés.







The Tour







Positioned on the third floor of the building, the apartment opens to a generous entrance hallway with ample storage and hanging space for coats and shoes. There is also a large cupboard to tidy larger items away.







The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, where two floor-to-ceiling windows frame views over the churchyard below; the views are especially striking at night with the illumination of the City. Natural light floods the space on bright days and is amplified by the gentle, understated decorative scheme. In the rear corner, the kitchen takes an L-shape and is made up of white cabinetry, oak worktops and a double butler sink, while the rest of the space lends itself to flexible layouts.







There are two double bedrooms; both are peaceful spaces that overlook a quiet courtyard. The smaller of the two would work equally well as a quiet home office. The rooms share a generous bathroom with a built-in bath and birch ply shelving that provides storage.







The Area







The apartment is well situated for the best of Bethnal Green and the neighbouring locales, including London Fields, Wilton Way, Columbia Road, Mare Street and Broadway Market.







Hackney Road is home to an increasing number of popular restaurants and bars, including Morito, Sager + Wilde and The Marksman. O-Zone Coffee roasters have recently opened an all-day café in the Antipodean vein very close by, specialising in excellent coffee, pastries and an ever-changing brunch menu. The excellent Common Ground coffee is also a stroll away.







The green spaces of Weaver's Fields, Haggerston Park and London Fields are all a short walk from the apartment. Broadway and Columbia Road Markets, with their wide array of independent shops and cafés, are close by. Particularly popular are Climpson’s Coffee, Donlon Books, Pavilion Bakery, Brawn, The Royal Oak and Campania & Jones. Liverpool Street is an easy walk away, as are Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market, Redchurch Street and Shoreditch House.
