If maximum lighting was the goal, then this magnificent terraced house on Mortimer Road certainly did the job. James Fisher is watching.
Located in the elegant De Beauvoir area of Hackney, this unassuming terraced house on Mortimer Road hides plenty of interesting spots behind its modest brick façade.
It is now being sold through Savills for an estimated price of £3.45 million.
Offering four bedrooms on 2.5 floors, the home’s location means it has plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants on Southgate Road, as well as excellent transport links to Haggerston Skytrain Station.
Ideal then as a great family home, a well-equipped base in the city for quick trips or as a pied-à-terre on weekdays.
However, the real magic is inside, where the focus is on natural light – no more than on the lower floor, which benefits from an exceptional full-width glass rear extension that houses the kitchen and dining area.
Not only is it a divine place for entertaining, but it also opens onto a garden designed by RHS Chelsea Gold Medalist Darren Hawkes.
Broadband internet extends into the garden, making working from home much more enjoyable in the summer, and a barbecue area on the terrace makes al fresco dining a pleasure.
The rest of the house is finished to the same high standard, with a mix of modern and vintage elements such as original fireplaces, cornices and smart heating, lighting and sound systems.
The entrance to the basement floor is a cozy cozy living room with a fireplace and casement windows. Three bedrooms (which can be converted into other living rooms depending on your situation) complete the accommodation on this floor.
The master bedroom occupies the first floor providing plenty of space and great views of the west facing garden.
The property is located off the road in the heart of Des Beauvoir, which means it’s surprisingly quiet and there are two “outstanding” elementary schools nearby: the new Hackney Primary School and Our Lady and St. Joseph Catholic Primary School.
This Mortimer Road terraced property is currently listed for sale through Savills with an estimated price of £3.45 million – see more photos or contact an agent for more information.
