Nestled in a row of Victorian terraced homes built by famed local developer J G Abraham in the late 1800s, this beautifully decorated and renovated two bedroom maisonette lies on a quiet street adjacent to Francis Road. Double glazed windows, a Vaillant boiler, and traditional column radiators warm the characterful interior, where period appropriate doors with Suffolk Latch handles open to reveal light filled, high ceilinged rooms painted in rich Farrow & Ball and Lick shades.
In addition to reconfiguring the layout in the kitchen, which was replaced in the process, refurbishing the bathroom, and insulating and sound proofing the living room ceiling, the current owners also fitted Corston switches and sockets a select few with USB C ports and reinstated the fireplaces to create a home that balances style with character features.
STEP INSIDE
Upon arriving at the house, you are greeted by a charming colonnaded bay window framed by a low brick wall and a Victorian tiled path. Cross the patio to reach a recently replaced recessed front door, painted red and adorned with gold plated fittings, and a transom window both installed by the London Door Company .
Inside, tall walls decorated in Oxford Stone by Farrow & Ball join exposed floorboards for a paired back look that highlights an incredibly high ceiling with a central pendant, while sunlight streams in from the glazing and transom window behind.
Follow the beautiful floorboards into the living room to discover a spacious and cosy hub focused around a reclaimed Victorian fireplace with marble surround and a new hearth. Fitted by a specialist craftsman, it s flanked by a marble mantelpiece and floating shelves, painted in calming Oval Room Blue by Farrow & Ball to match the walls. The living room is further warmed by a traditional cast iron radiator beneath a fabulous bay window with fitted wooden shutters that filter the southerly sunshine.
Continue along the hall to find the main bedroom a lovely double that fuses bold Lick 03 red walls with gorgeous floorboards and a fireplace to match the living room. Meanwhile, a tall awning window with a fitted roller blind and a white column beneath overlooks the garden.
Carry on to reach the dining kitchen, which is lit by a combination of dimmable and under counter spots and a large window and part glazed door to the side. Opened up, sound proofed, and rewired during the 2022 renovations to maximise the layout, it s a fabulous social hub featuring pale green cabinetry from DIY Kitchens with soft close drawers, gold plated Plank handles, white tops, and two pull out, pantry style, full height drawers. Crisp white paintwork, a tiled splashback, and wood effect flooring complete the aesthetic.

The sanitaryware has been carefully chosen to reflect the period, from the Chatsworth bath with glass screen, Chatsworth taps, and rainfall shower head to the Burlington basin and traditional style close coupled loo.

A NOTE FROM THE OWNERS
This was our first home together we got engaged during the renovations, got married and then had our son here. It s been a beautiful place to become a family. The combination of having access to a wide range of cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants, quick connections into Hackney and beyond, the closeness to green spaces and the incredibly welcoming community around Francis Road monthly community events and parties, active community improvement projects and neighbours we have made real and lasting connections with, we have hit a real sweet spot of London life.
