Mentmore Terrace, Hackney, London E8

This bright and beautifully designed one-bedroom apartment puts you right in the middle of one of Hackney’s most dynamic neighbourhoods, with London Fields, Broadway Market and excellent transport links all close by. At 563 square feet, there’s a surprisingly generous amount of space, along with a private balcony, far-reaching third floor views and access to some seriously impressive resident facilities. There’s secure bike storage, a landscaped roof terrace, a gym and even a private cinema, giving you plenty to enjoy both inside and beyond your own front door.

If you lived here...

There’s an awful lot to love about this part of Hackney, from Sunday mornings around London Fields lido to dinner and drinks at the many independent spots scattered around Broadway Market and Mare Street. And when you’re ready to retreat, this is a home that makes staying in just as tempting, with sleek interiors, great views and a host of shared spaces to enjoy.

The spacious open-plan reception and kitchen is filled with natural light, with the kitchen neatly tucked to one side and finished smart sleek units, integrated appliances and generous worktop space. You’ll love that fact that there’s a storage/utility cupboard to keep clutter at bay.

The private balcony adds another dimension, with elevated views across Hackney and space to sit out with a drink. The bedroom continues the apartment’s smart, understated aesthetic, with built-in storage, while the bathroom has a particularly stylish finish, with bottle green tiling, brass fittings and an over-tub shower.

And then there’s the building itself. The landscaped roof terrace is a real asset, offering a leafy spot to enjoy the views, while the residents’ gym means you can fit in a workout without going anywhere. There’s also a private cinema and secure bike storage, which is particularly handy in a neighbourhood where cycling is such an easy way to get around.

As for beyond, this is a wonderfully well-connected part of Hackney, with London Fields just moments away. Make your moving-in celebration dinner at Brat x Climpson’s Arch, then head to Night Tales Loft within Neil House for cocktails afterwards. Grab breakfast from Rogue Sarnie the next morning.

The Hackney Picturehouse is also within easy walking distance, with a great mix of blockbusters and independent films, plus a cafe bar, while the legendary Hackney Empire is close by too.

Transport is plentiful, with several useful bus routes nearby, including the 55 into central London, while London Fields station provides Overground services. If you have the time and energy, it’s also a surprisingly enjoyable walk into the City via Brick Lane.
