“Set behind a handsome double-fronted façade on one of Hackney’s established residential streets, this characterful early Victorian home unfolds across three floors”

Imbued with an unmistakable charm, beautifully proportioned rooms, an abundance of natural light and a remarkably generous garden to the rear, this is a rare, untouched gem of a house. Original period details remain throughout, lending the interiors a strong sense of history, while the arrangement of spaces offers a wonderfully adaptable setting for modern life.


Approached through a leafy front garden, steps ascend to the raised ground floor, where tall sash windows draw daylight into a pair of elegant reception rooms. The principal sitting room is particularly inviting, its generous proportions complemented by original timber floors, traditional six-over-six sash window, cast iron radiator and soft, warm tones. Views through the windows take in the mature greenery outside, giving the room a peaceful, almost rural quality despite its London setting.


The second reception room sits alongside, offering a more intimate space that could equally serve as a study or dining room. A handsome marble fireplace is flanked by in-built alcove shelving, encircled by classic cornicing. Two bedrooms are also arranged across this level, providing flexibility for family life, guests or working from home.


On the lower ground floor, the kitchen and dining room form the heart of the home. Stretching over 21 feet, this welcoming space has a relaxed, lived-in character, with timber flooring, a fireplace and ample room for a generous dining table. A broad window draws light into the room, while its proportions lend themselves naturally to gathering, cooking and entertaining. A further reception room and entrance lobby complete this level.


Upstairs, the first floor is given over to a generous bedroom and family bathroom. The bedroom has an elegant simplicity, with original sash windows and proportions that are characteristic of the house’s Victorian origins. The adjoining bathroom is arranged around a freestanding bath, creating a calm space at the top of the house.


Outside, there are two doors that open out to the rear garden, an especially inviting feature of the house. Extending approximately 59 feet in length, it is framed by mature trees and established planting, with an expanse of lawn that offers an unusual sense of openness and privacy. The garden feels wholly removed from the city, with space for outdoor dining and gardening.


There is also considerable potential to extend and reconfigure the lower ground and raised ground floors, as well as convert the loft, subject to the necessary consents, offering an opportunity to further enhance the house while respecting its architectural origins.

“At its heart is Broadway Market, a short walk away and still one of East London’s most characterful high streets.”

Independent to its core, the street is lined with long-standing favourites and newer arrivals alike – from neighbourhood bakeries and booksellers to florists, wine bars and the much-loved Saturday market. Nearby Netil Market and the quieter stretch of Wilton Way add to the mix, creating a compact but remarkably rich ecosystem of independent shops, cafés and restaurants.

The area has quietly become one of London’s most compelling food destinations. Pophams and E5 Bakehouse are both close by for morning coffee and pastries, while Climpson & Sons remains a long-standing local institution.

The Prince Arthur serves produce-led cooking and a considered wine list, making it as suited to long Sunday lunches as it is to impromptu midweek dinners. Nearby, The Spurstowe Arms offers a more laid-back but equally beloved setting – with pizzas and generous seasonal plates, good beer and a welcoming neighbourhood atmosphere that spills onto the pavement in the warmer months. Mare Street Market, set within a beautifully restored industrial building, offers an all-day setting for everything from coffee and casual lunches to evening drinks.

In the evenings, the neighbourhood reveals an impressive depth of restaurants – including Elliots, Café Cecilia beside the canal, and Sune, each known for their thoughtful cooking and relaxed atmosphere. Bambi brings a relaxed, late-night energy with natural wines, good food and a lively crowd.

London Fields itself is just moments away, with its much-loved heated Lido, tennis courts and open lawns creating a rare sense of space in the city. The surrounding streets form part of a Low Traffic Neighbourhood, meaning through-traffic is limited and the area remains notably calm and residential throughout the day.

Connectivity is excellent. London Fields station sits just across the park, offering swift links into Liverpool Street, while both Haggerston and Hackney Central Overground stations are a short walk away, providing additional routes across the city. From Haggerston, trains run via Highbury & Islington and Whitechapel, giving quick access to the Victoria Line and the Elizabeth Line.

The area is also particularly well regarded for schooling, with a number of highly rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Gayhurst Community School (an Ofsted rated Outstanding primary school) is a short walk away.
