Thoughtfully designed, with a modern Scandi style palette of
colours and materials, polished concrete floors and clever custom
cabinetry, this bright, light filled apartment occupies a fantastic
location just a stone s throw from the extensive travel links,
shopping and entertainment opportunities, and the open green spaces
of Stratford s Olympic Park and Westfield.
Enter the well kept brick apartment block from the street and
take the communal staircase to the second floor and the private
front door. Once inside, the tactile polished concrete floor flows
through the hallway into the open plan dual aspect living room,
dining area and kitchen.
With fresh white walls seen throughout the apartment the living
room is lit by an almost full height wide window with a frosted
lower pane for privacy. It also features a modern radiator and an
antique bronze feature pendant light with a fabric cord, swagged to
hang over the dining area. ?
The apartment s versatile design integrates custom made sliding
and pocket doors throughout, with a pair between the cooking and
living space, allowing the two rooms to be separate or open plan
ideal for entertaining.
In the kitchen, the grey walls mirror the polished concrete
floor, while a blonde solid wood worktop offsets minimalist
charcoal matte handless units and marble metro tiles laid in a
herringbone formation to the splashback.
The oven, four ring gas hob, and overhead extractor with exposed
ducting are by Moffat, and there s an integrated dishwasher, fridge
freezer and washer dryer. The discreetly boxed in boiler is also
housed here.
Designed with keen cooks in mind, Vitsoe industrial style steel
open shelving lines the walls, providing plenty of storage for easy
access and display. The steel is echoed in the brushed chrome
sockets and switches, and the steel one and a half bowl sink with
chrome mixer tap, which sits beneath the casement window.
Returning to the hallway, you ll find the shower room adjacent
to the living space. Grey marble effect tiles line the walls and
floor for a cohesive feel, while the suite includes a wall hung
basin with chrome mixer tap, a concealed cistern loo with chrome
flush plate, and a rainfall shower with a bifold glass door and a
separate handheld attachment. There s also a white contemporary
towel rail radiator, while two integrated wall mirrors bounce light
around the space.
The considered design details continue in the primary bedroom,
accessed via another sliding door, where two bespoke full height
double wardrobes frame the entrance to the room, providing ample
storage. Decorated in white, the scheme is warmed by stylish sisal
flooring underfoot. Besides this, you ll find a long modern
radiator beneath the wide double glazed window and a pendant
fitting with monochrome fabric flex.
The white walls and sisal flooring repeat in the second bedroom.
Currently configured as a bright home office, it could easily work
as a nursery or guest room. Here, a wall of minimalist custom built
in storage, with push click opening mechanisms, gives a sleek,
integrated look. Utility meters are cleverly built into the storage
here too.?There s also a radiator, pendant fitting and casement
window with white bespoke roller blind.
A NOTE FROM THE OWNERS
This flat has always felt like a calm nest a spacious, modern,
safe escape from the bustle of the city, in a new and exciting
location that feels like a growing village, so close to green
spaces and well connected to all parts of London. We particularly
like the living room, as it s so bright and airy, and the sliding
doors into the kitchen make it a very flexible space to entertain
in. It s also wonderfully cosy in the winter, and we ve found the
second bedroom a great space to work from home.
