Cricketfield Road, Hackney Downs

This bright, split-level apartment on Cricketfield Road, set within a converted textile warehouse benefits from a share of freehold and is one of only 3 flats in the building. Located in the heart of Lower Clapton, it offers fantastic connectivity via nearby Hackney Downs and Clapton overground stations, alongside easy access to local green spaces like Hackney Downs Park.
Set back in a private gated mews and spanning nearly 650sqft, the flat features clean white walls, wooden flooring on the lower level, and three large picture windows on the upper level. The ground floor hosts an open-plan kitchen and dining area, where the kitchen unit itself is cleverly built directly underneath the staircase and mezzanine upper level. This smartly integrated kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, dark countertops, an integrated oven, a gas hob, a stainless-steel extractor hood, and recessed shelving tucked under the slanted wooden underside of the stairs, with an adjacent dining space next to a window overlooking green foliage. The ground floor contains a bedroom and a modern tiled shower room with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower.
Upstairs, the 1st floor comprises a spacious reception room and workspace. This upper mezzanine level looks down over the kitchen/dining area below through glass balustrades and is flooded with natural light from large skylights set into the angled ceilings, offering a dedicated study nook with shelving alongside an additional upper bathroom.
The property enjoys a fantastic location directly on the edge of Hackney Downs park, a vast green space with mature trees, a cricket pitch, and tennis courts. The neighbourhood is a vibrant hub of East London culture, with cool places to eat and drink, good schools, and great parks. Bustling Chatsworth Road is just 0.7 miles away, offering some great independents, restaurants, and coffee shops. Some Easthaus favourites include Vernerdi, Fika, Pivaz, Eat 17, The Hackney Draper, Espresso Hut, and the independent Castle Cinema. Neighbourhood favourite P Franco wine bar and bottle shop is also on nearby Lower Clapton Road.
