Features and description
Positioned on the edge of Stonebridge Gardens in Haggerston, this one-bedroom apartment in Acton House has been subject to a sympathetic renovation in recent years. The apartment unfolds across the third floor of the building and employs a palette of dusky blues and muddy red set against oak floors and checkerboard tiles. The building is excellently located for the best of east London; Kingsland Road, Broadway Market and London Fields are all within walking distance.
The Tour
The building's communal entrance opens to an external lobby and stairwell. This apartment is on the third floor, which can be accessed via stairs and lift.
The front door opens to a bright hallway with oak floorboards running underfoot and walls washed in 'School House White' by Farrow and Ball, a palette that sets the tone for the rest of the apartment. The hallway has three useful storage cupboards, good for keeping coats, jackets and shoes.
The kitchen is to the right of the plan. Cream and red checkerboard tiles are laid underfoot, and two walls are lined with white cabinets with a plywood top. There is an integrated oven and microwave, and a four-ring induction hob. A casement window frames green views towards the park.
An open-plan living room and dining room sits adjacent. South-facing French doors open to a Juliet balcony, drawing an abundance of natural light. Built-in shelves and cupboards are fitted in alcoves on either side on a chimney breast, finished with cut-out Matilda Goad hardware.
The bedroom is to the left of the plan, also with south-facing windows. The room is drenched in 'Oval Room Blue' by Farrow and Ball, and there is a bank of built-in wardrobes on one side.
Accessed via the hallway, there is a separate bathroom and WC with a cohesive scheme of vertically laid cream and blue tiles. Both rooms have a casement window.
The Area
The apartment sits on the edge of leafy Stonebridge Gardens and is a few minutes’ walk from the Regent’s Canal towpath, which leads towards Victoria Park in the east and the much-celebrated Broadway Market, with its array of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. London Fields and its popular heated lido are also nearby.
There are many fantastic cafés and restaurants locally, including Café Cecilia and Sune of Broadway Market, Planque on Lee Street, and Towpath Café and Toconoco are a short walk along the canal. The Dusty Knuckle is excellent for freshly baked artisan bread, sandwiches and pastries, and in the warmer months serves sourdough pizzas in the evening.
Hackney City Farm and Columbia Road, with its shops and weekly flower market are both nearby. Dalston's Kingsland Road is home to a wealth of brilliant bars, including Three Sheets, Bar Lotus and Ellies.
Transport links are excellent: Haggerston station (Windrush line) is only a minute away on foot. There are also several bus routes serving the area.
