2 bed flat for sale

Forest Road, Hackney E8

A bright two bedroom split-level period conversion in a well-connected Hackney location, close to London Fields and its much-loved mix of green space, independent food spots and neighbourhood pubs. Set across the upper levels of a period property, the flat comes in at around 1,000 sq ft, with high ceilings, sash windows and plenty of natural light.

If you lived here...

There’s a lovely sense of space throughout, with the period proportions and tall sash windows doing much of the work. The reception is particularly generous, with two large windows bringing in plenty of daylight and a fireplace providing a natural focal point. The soft, neutral finish keeps things simple, while the high ceiling adds to the feeling of openness. Elsewhere on this level, the separate kitchen has glossy red cabinetry, timber worktops and white tiled splashbacks. The bathroom is finished in clean white tiling, with a bath and shower above, while the first bedroom continues the light, understated feel.

Head upstairs and you’ll find the second bedroom tucked into the loft level. It’s a spacious room with a sloping ceiling, roof windows and useful eaves storage, creating a distinct space away from the rest of the flat. With accommodation spread across two levels and around 1,000 sq ft in total, there’s plenty of room to settle into.

A word from the expert...

“I feel right at home living in Hackney, even though I am originally from Greece. You can be yourself, wear what you like and always feel welcome. The multicultural spirit shines through in the cafés, restaurants, shops and bars. From specialty coffee and Michelin star dining to parks and art galleries, Hackney has something for everyone. Weekends at Victoria Park or Broadway Market are full of community energy, great food and local makers. The marshes are ideal for dog walks, and nearby you can stop by the Princess of Wales for a Sunday roast, Here East for brunch or Crate Brewery for pizza and a local beer. Homes range from Victorian and Georgian houses to red brick local authority blocks and modern developments with shared roof terraces. I have truly found my place in Hackney, and it holds a special spot in my heart”.
