IF YOU LIVED HERE...
Step inside and you’re immediately met with a practical touch with a double-door storage cupboard, perfectly placed for coats, shoes, or the things you want neatly out of sight. Opposite, the bathroom sets a stylish tone: sandstone tiling wraps around a bath-and-shower combination, complete with a ceiling-mounted rain shower for a sleek, modern finish. A wide mirror above a handy shelf keeps grooming essentials within easy reach, while recessed spotlights provide bright, even lighting.
The 22 ft open-plan kitchen and reception room is filled with natural light from a large southwest-facing window that keeps the space bright well into the evening. The kitchen runs along the back wall in a smart mix of glossy white wall units and wood-fronted base cabinets with integrated appliances, creating a streamlined look. With the working area tucked neatly to one side, the rest of the room is left free for flexible dining and lounging layouts. Warm oak flooring runs throughout, softening the modern design and tying everything together.
The double bedroom continues the calm, understated feel. A floor-to-ceiling window brings in plenty of daylight, while soft carpet underfoot adds comfort. A recessed alcove provides a ready-made space for a wardrobe, keeping the room uncluttered and practical without sacrificing floor space.

A WORD FROM THE OWNER...
"Our flat is perfectly positioned near Chatsworth Road, with its array of coffee shops, fab French deli, and independent little shops. Just a stroll away from Millfields Park and Hackney Marshes, you can enjoy scenic walks along the canal and summer hangouts at the Princess of Wales pub. Commutes are easy from Lea Bridge station (5-minute ride to Stratford) or Clapton Overground (quick journey to Liverpool Street). The Paradise Park community is warm and welcoming, with friendly and helpful neighbours. We've loved our time here, but are moving out further east to be near Epping forest."
