Forest Road London Fields, E8

Midway along peaceful Forest Road, and equidistant between London Fields and Dalston Junction station, this unique contemporary three-bedroom, two storey detached house is a rare find in the heart of Hackney.

Designed by architect Sigrun Sverrisdottir of Harstlane Studios, it exudes a calm coherence, with simple serene spaces that flow easily and have the flexibility to accommodate modern lifestyles.

The unassuming street entrance belies the wonders within. The cedar shingle cladding matches the external which opens into a sunny, secluded courtyard with rendered taupe walls, and a paved Portland stone terrace. The house wraps around this private space, with full height glazed doors opening directly into the open plan main living space, hallway and third bedroom. There’s also a WC on this floor and a bespoke built-in hall cupboard.

The ground floor has been designed to morph to the occupiers’ requirements. Discreet pocket doors allow it to be configured either as a continuous open space comprising the large living room/kitchen, wide hallway, and third bedroom/second living room/workspace, or three separate spaces. This makes it ideal for everyday living as well as entertaining.

Stairs lit from above by a large skylight lead up to the first floor, which is home to two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a utility room. Both bedrooms are doubles with large picture windows and ample space for king-size beds. The main bedroom has an ensuite with a bath and washbasin and is adjacent to the utility room which can also be used as a dressing room. The second bedroom has a dressing room area fitted with mirrored wardrobes. The main bathroom has a shower, washbasin and WC. This sits alongside the utility room and both rooms are accessed from the landing.

The property is in immaculate condition with sublimely stylish décor and good eco credentials including triple glazed Velfac windows, an air source heat pump, and underfloor heating throughout. The high-quality contemporary fixtures and fittings include:

- Forcrete micro cement flooring on ground floor
- corded Tretford carpets on first floor (natural renewable materials)
- stainless steel kitchen with bespoke iroko cabinets, panelling and worktops
- fitted blackout blinds throughout
- Aston Matthews bathroom fittings with nickel taps throughout.
- Bathroom & outside lighting by SCP

The property is located in popular London Fields, in a quiet residential street with easy access to the many amenities of the area including several Overground stations, a wide range of shops from the independent boutiques of Broadway Market and Wilton Way to the high street stores on central Hackney, great green spaces such as London Fields Park with its lido, wildflower meadow, tennis courts, and vibrant street and nightlife. The unique appeal of this property is that, whilst all of this in on your doorstep, back home you have the perfect quiet retreat.
