The Home -
This two bedroom Victorian conversion is arranged on the first and second floor of the building and has been thoughtfully maintained by the current owner with great detail, whilst retaining many original features such as shutters, solid wood floors and sash windows. It has a private West facing terrace that gets afternoon sun and is share of the freehold. The loft space presents the opportunity to extend and enlarge the footprint (subject to the usual planning consents). Clarence Road is perfectly located to enjoy the ever popular Lower Clapton Road and Chatsworth Road, the green space of Hackney Downs is a short walk away, whilst Hackney Central is close by with its great transport links and an eclectic mix of bars and restaurants.
The Indoors
As you enter the main front door of the apartment you are greeted with stairs leading to the first landing. There is a window framed perfectly with wooden shutters and views over the terrace. The living room has wonderfully high ceilings with an abundance of natural light that beams through the east facing sash windows surrounded by original wooden shutters. Bespoke shelving complements the space either side of the chimney breast and is ideal storage for book lovers.
The kitchen offers an industrial feel with metal cabinetry, oak wooden worktops, and cleverly designed wall unit ideal for hanging your kitchen accessories. The versatile room allows for dining and boasts beautiful French doors that open onto the west facing terrace. Ascending up the next flight of stairs you are greeted by a wonderfully bright landing with dual aspect windows and original dark wood flooring underfoot that flows seamlessly.
The main bedroom is found at the front of the plan with two large sash windows and bespoke fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom offers amazing tree lined views over the rear and comfortably fits a double bed. The bathroom has a three piece suite with shower over the bath and wooden flooring underfoot. A further stair case leads to a quirky home office, created in a portion of the loft and offering a beautiful view over the rear mature gardens.
The Outdoors
The beautifully designed West facing terrace is accessed from the French doors off the kitchen. The area has been finished with wooden decking and balustrade and is an ideal space for alfresco dining whilst watching the afternoon sun go down in the distance.
