This elegant two-bedroom apartment is located on Clapton Square, a peaceful residential square in the centre of Hackney. The apartment occupies the second floor of a Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse, directly overlooking the mature trees and historic stone ornamentation that defines the square below.

Internal accommodation extends to 753 sq ft, configured around a spacious reception room, with a beautifully curved west-facing aspect. This space is arguably one of the most impressive in the apartment; high ceilings, a large sash window, built-in bookcases and a restored stone fireplace all speak to the current owners’ successful marriage of period flourishes and contemporary style.

An adjoining kitchen has been re-configured in recent years and includes concrete worktops, a range cooker and open-shelving to accentuate the sense of space. The kitchen is bathed in wonderful levels of natural light, care of a pair of original sash windows at the rear.

There is a separate passage from the kitchen providing access to the second bedroom, via the entrance hall and a guest WC. The second bedroom has previously been used as a recording studio and a study, but is currently set up to accommodate guests. The hallway leads past the family bathroom to the master bedroom. This room has double aspect windows, each with peaceful views through the treetops of Clapton Square.

Clapton Square is a few minutes’ walk from the shops, bars, restaurants and cafes of Homerton High Street and Mare Street. Of note are local wine bar and shop P. Franco, Charles Artisan Bread and My Neighbours the Dumplings on Lower Clapton Road. The weekly food market on Chatsworth Road is easily reached in under fifteen minutes by foot and Hackney Picture House, London Fields Lido and the Grade II* listed St John at Hackney, an eighteenth-century chapel and live music venue, are also located nearby. For green open space, Hackney Downs is within close proximity.
