1 bedroom flat for sale

“A split-level apartment that makes creative use of its footprint” This fantastic apartment lies on Curtain Road, within the South Shoreditch Conservation Area. It comprises a bright, thoughtfully designed space set across three levels with a gentle contemporary scheme that honours its period warehouse heritage. Most unusual for the area, a series of outdoor spaces wrap around the building, culminating in an enclosed roof terrace; a wonderful urban summit that cements its coveted location.The Tour The home is set on the second and upper floors of a characterful, renovated Georgian building. On the ground floor is a wooden shop front with a separate entrance. The interiors emulate the building’s period frontage with walls of exposed London brick and are brightened by three front-facing sash windows. The building has been listed in Hackney’s Local List since 1991, as an example of a relatively early-period surviving house on Curtain Road. From the first floor, a set of stairs opens directly to an open-plan kitchen-living room. The space is arranged around an outdoor terrace – a delightful winter garden or seating area in warmer months – that opens from the kitchen. Here, recently renovated, simple white cabinetry is set above and below solid wood worktops, against a moss-green glazed-tile splashback. White hexagonal tiling runs underfoot, a creative touch, while appliances are fully integrated. Long and lateral, the living area has three well-retained sash windows that overlook the street below. A fitted wood burner warms the space, while glass doors ease lines of sight, providing a seamless transition between rooms. The staircase that rises to the third floor is a playful focal point, painted in a brilliant electric blue against a wall of exposed mottled brick. The tactile material palette continues throughout the bedroom and bathroom that occupy the full length of this floor; richly textured floorboards run along the bedroom floor, meanwhile, the bathroom is superbly finished with horizontal white and green tiles surrounding a walk-in shower. A balcony extends from the bedroom and overlooks the terrace below. Following the staircase to the upper floor, a fully glazed room opens onto a fantastic, secluded roof terrace with sweeping views across east London’s rooftops. The current owner has drawn plans to reconfigure the apartment from a one bedroom to a two bedroom. More details can be provided on request. Outdoor Space The rear and roof terrace are exceptionally rare additions, decked and well-sized for plenty of seating. Glazed partitions create a natural extension of the living space, while potted plants are a welcome touch of greenery. The roof terrace has far-reaching views of the surrounding townscape, lending an incredible sense of openness that instantly belies its central London position. The Area Curtain Road lies at the heart of Shoreditch, one of London's most vibrant creative quarters. Redchurch Street, Arnold Circus and Spitalfields are all a short walk away, with an exceptional choice of independent cafes, restaurants, galleries and shops. Columbia Road Flower Market and Regent's Canal are also nearby, providing a tranquil contrast to the bustle of the surrounding streets. Shoreditch High Street, Old Street and Liverpool Street stations are all within walking distance, providing excellent connections across London and beyond.
