Glenarm Road, Hackney E5

The Home -

Occupying the upper floors of an end-of-terrace Victorian building, this beautifully composed two-bedroom, two bathroom maisonette unfolds across two levels, balancing carefully considered contemporary design with the proportions and character of its period origins. A sequence of bright living spaces culminates in two private roof terraces, while elevated views stretch across the rooftops towards the City skyline. Throughout the home, oak flooring, bespoke joinery and carefully chosen materials bring consistency and warmth without feeling over-designed. Glenarm Road is situated off Chatsworth Road, with its array of restaurants and Sunday food market all moments away.

The Indoors

Natural light is a defining feature throughout. The first floor is arranged around a wonderfully bright reception room where a broad bay window draws in natural light throughout the day. With Mosaic Factory custom floor tiles in the hallway and original parquet flooring underfoot, bespoke cabinetry has been seamlessly integrated into the alcoves and a built-in dining nook creates a natural place to gather without interrupting the openness of the room. The consciously crafted Pluck kitchen has been thoughtfully planned with clean lines and understated finishes, making the layout work naturally for everyday living. A double bedroom with extensive fitted wardrobes and a spacious family bathroom completes the floor.

A handcrafted oak staircase rises to the upper level where the main bedroom occupies almost the entire floor. Bespoke wardrobes are built into the eaves, while glazed doors open directly onto a private roof terrace, creating an effortless connection between inside and out. An en-suite shower room with Mandarin stone marble and Matilda Goad brass fittings sits within the bedroom, creating a calm and understated retreat, while a second terrace to the front enjoys open views across the surrounding rooftops and towards Canary Wharf.

The Outdoors

Two private roof terraces provide distinctly different outdoor spaces. The larger rear terrace offers plenty of room for outdoor dining, planting and relaxing. The front terrace sits directly off the main bedroom, creating a peaceful spot for morning coffee or an evening drink, with sliding doors allowing the bedroom to open almost entirely onto the outside where you have uninterrupted rooftop views that extend across Hackney towards Canary Wharf. The elevated position gives both terraces an unusual sense of privacy while making the most of the far-reaching skyline.
