The Home -
This two bedroom Victorian conversion is arranged on the ground floor and has been thoughtfully renovated by the current owners with great detail, whilst retaining many original features such as shutters, solid wood floors and sash windows. It has a private south facing garden that gets all day sun and a share of the freehold.
The garden - and also the basement - present the opportunity to extend and enlarge the footprint (subject to the usual planning consents).
Glenarm Road is perfectly located to enjoy the ever popular Chatsworth Road, whilst Hackney Central with its great transport links, is a short walk away.
The Indoors
The main living space has been thoughtfully planned, surrounding the original sash windows - the original shutters are still present, these and also the the front door architrave have been freshly painted in 2020 in Farrow and Ball 'Bancha'. Underfoot we have the original solid wood floors. The walls, ceiling and bespoke built wooden shelves are painted in F&B 'James White'. The main bedroom has more of the solid wood floors underfoot, the walls, skirting and bespoke built wardrobes are painted in F&B 'Shadow White'. This colour contrasts cleverly with the exposed brick inside the fireplace. The radiator and the south facing sash window are painted in F&B 'Drop Cloth'.
The kitchen is painted in F&B 'All White' and was renovated in July 2022 it is well stocked with cupboard space and features slimline Quartz worktops by Rock & Co. The cupboard doors have hand cast, solid brass handles. The tiled splashbacks feature reclaimed antique Italian Marmol Verde by Maitland Poate. Underfoot there are handcrafted Moroccan Hiccup tiles by Marrakech based tile studio Popham Design. The Villeroy and Boch ceramic undermount sink is paired with reclaimed and serviced antique Perrin & Rowe brass kitchen mixer lever tap. There is a sash window and door leading to the garden. The second bedroom is painted in F&B 'Blackened', has the solid wood floors underfoot, a south facing sash window and the door architrave is painted in F&B 'Stone Blue'. The bathroom is painted in Little Green and has a bath with fitted shower, hand basin, W.C. and a frosted sash window.
The Outdoors
The decked, south facing garden is bathed in all day sunshine. It has a Fig tree, an Apple tree and there is scope to extend the property into the garden (subject to the usual planning consents)
