This airy one-bedroom flat is positioned on a Grade II-listed Georgian terrace in Upper Clapton. Flanking the verdant expanse of Clapton Common, the terrace typifies the imposing yet elegant architecture of the time. Constructed in stock brick masonry, each house features a dramatic entry with a stone coat parapet. The flat has been sensitively restored to draw attention to the period features, including dentil moulding and a striking marble fireplace. Its ground floor setting means there is seamless entry to the flourishing garden that complements the welcoming interior spaces.
Setting the Scene
In the leafy surrounds of upper Hackney, the flat is located on a terrace comprising some 17 houses that were constructed at the end of the 18th century. The row looks onto the conservation area of Clapton Common but is set back from the main green, in its own section of the park. The original lane runs along the front. It has an air of tranquillity, imparted by the mature trees and green space. Decorated in neutral tones throughout with an abundance of period features, the flat is an elegant and restful space. For more information, please see the History section.
