Elrington Road, London, E8

Five-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace with 1,000 sq. ft. brick-built studio on one of Hackney’s most desirable roads. This substantial family home is rich in period character, with features including original cornicing, ceiling roses, fireplaces, sash windows with shutters, and impressively high ceilings. The ground floor offers a double through-reception, separate kitchen/dining space, and a guest W/C. The first floor has three generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms, with two further doubles on the second floor. Additional storage is provided by a basement cellar and useful eaves space. To the rear, a rare brick-built Victorian building provides approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of flexible accommodation. With elegant arched walls and plenty of natural light, it was originally constructed as a dance school. Currently arranged as a self-contained annexe with open-plan kitchen/living, bathroom and bedroom, it is just as easily used as a workspace, studio, creative retreat or for entertaining. A secluded courtyard separates the house and outbuilding, while the main home also enjoys a sunny rear patio garden. Elrington Road is widely regarded as one of the most desirable streets in London Fields, within easy reach of local cafés, restaurants and pubs. The green open spaces of London Fields and its Lido, Broadway Market, and Victoria Park are all close by. Nearby Overground stations at Dalston Junction, Dalston Kingsland, Hackney Central and Hackney Downs along with multiple bus routes, put the City, West End and all London airports within easy reach. Gayhurst Primary and several well-regarded secondary schools are nearby, making this an ideal choice for families. Tenure: Freehold Council Tax band: E Local Authority: Hackney
