Rushmore Road, Hackney E5

The Home -

Behind its handsome Victorian façade, this substantial four-bedroom family home unfolds across three floors, offering over 1,640 sq ft of adaptable living space. Rich in period character, the house pairs elegant original proportions with thoughtful contemporary updates, creating a home that is equally suited to everyday family life as it is to entertaining.

Original cornicing, ceiling roses, fireplaces and bay windows remain beautifully intact, while the carefully chosen finishes introduce a more modern aesthetic. A flexible layout provides multiple reception spaces, generous bedrooms and a wonderfully established rear garden, allowing the house to evolve with changing lifestyles.

The Indoors

The elevated ground floor is dedicated to living and entertaining. At the front, the principal reception room is flooded with natural light through a wide bay window, where intricate Victorian cornicing and a striking fireplace create an elegant focal point. Across the hall, a beautifully proportioned dining room enjoys similarly impressive ceiling heights and original detailing, making it an inviting setting for everything from family dinners to larger gatherings.

To the rear, the kitchen combines classic shaker cabinetry with polished granite worktops and colourful handcrafted tiles, creating a space full of warmth and personality. A large window overlooks the garden, bringing in plenty of daylight, while direct access outside makes it ideal for entertaining through the warmer months.

The first floor offers three generous double bedrooms alongside the family bathroom. The main bedroom spans the full width of the house, enjoying two large sash windows that fill the room with light throughout the day. Two further bedrooms continue the period theme with high ceilings and original proportions, offering flexibility for children, guests or home working.

The lower ground floor provides exceptional versatility. A spacious bedroom with its own en-suite shower room creates an ideal guest suite or independent accommodation, while an additional reception room can easily become a media room, playroom or home office depending on your needs.

Throughout the house, original architectural features have been carefully retained, including ornate plaster cornicing, decorative fireplaces, timber joinery and generous bay windows, all sitting comfortably alongside contemporary décor and updated finishes.

The Outdoors

The rear garden extends to approximately 44 feet, offering a peaceful and private outdoor retreat enclosed by mature planting and established trees. A generous paved terrace provides space for outdoor dining, before leading onto a lawn and seating area framed by flowering borders. It is a garden that feels established, green and wonderfully secluded despite its central location.

To the front, the attractive Victorian façade is softened by mature planting, creating an elegant first impression and enhancing the house's strong kerb appeal.
