2 bedroom apartment

This immaculately presented split level loft apartment is located on the top floor of Haybridge House, one of the original (and still one of the best) factory conversions in London.

The apartment manages to blend mod-cons, such as underfloor heating, Egyptian limestone flooring throughout and a sleek kitchen with stone worktops and integrated Bosch appliances, with the charm and character of the original Victorian building, with double height ceilings and an open-plan layout.

The current owners have gone to great effort in replacing the large crittall windows and secondary glazing with new triple glazed Schuco windows from Germany. Inside and outside the design is in keeping with the authenticity of the building and they are an added feature in addition to providing superb insulation and soundproofing. Four skylights have been added to the loft roof, all electric, solar powered and weather sensitive. All glass throughout the apartment has a UV filter to protect furnishings and art works from any sun damage.

Converted in 1996, the layout of the apartment is extremely practicable, with the first floor accommodation consisting of; an open plan kitchen dining space; a very generous double bedroom with fitted storage and space for a home office, as well as a separate family bathroom with a bath and shower. The second floor is made up of a sizable, open-plan reception room, again with cleverly fitted storage, and a large master bedroom with a walk-in en suite. 

Haybridge House is known for its community and creative vibe, the building itself is a Loft icon in its own right!. This is the largest apartment in the building and as a corner penthouse has the most windows and light. It is excellent for entertaining as sound doesn't penetrate the thick walls and new triple glazed windows.

Built in the late 19th century, Haybridge House has had many uses over the years. Its original purpose however, was a woodwork factory, producing all manner of children’s toys, from motorcars to rocking horses. This is where its associated tag among us loft enthusiasts as ‘a converted toy factory’ comes from!

Clapton, Hackney, is known for its array of independent stores, bars and restaurants, the best of which are found on nearby Chatsworth Road, which is a short walk away through Millfields Park (the local green space, two minutes down the road) and a short distance from London Fields and Stoke Newington. It's also conveniently situated 10 minutes away from the river Lee, Walthamstow wetlands, a recognised nature reserve, a horse riding school and outdoor adventure centre.

Transport links are exceptional, with Clapton station a few minutes' walk away offering direct trains to Liverpool Street in 15 minutes.

The Loft is sold with a gated off-street parking space, a share of freehold (21 equal shares in the building), a 996 year lease, access to communal cobbled gardens, and a very reasonable service charge at £2500 p.a.

A rare proposition priced incredibly sensibly, we recommend a physical inspection in order to truly appreciate the space.
