Mare Street, Hackney

Tucked behind wrought-iron gates in a quiet mews, Cyntra Place is a beautifully restored Victorian industrial conversion set within a former grandfather-clock factory, built c. 1890. Forming part of an intimate collection of just 18 homes, this light-filled two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex offers over 1,000 sq. ft. of considered living space with a share of the freehold. The private courtyard entrance provides a peaceful, secure retreat, with room outside your front door to set up outdoor seating for dining or relaxing in the summer months.
Inside, the apartment seamlessly blends rich architectural heritage with clean, contemporary finishes. High ceilings, exposed London stock brickwork, and original Crittall steel windows anchor the space in its industrial roots.
The spacious living room is defined by its high ceilings and two striking Crittall windows set into exposed brickwork, paired with warm timber floors and crisp white walls. The space flows naturally into the kitchen, which pairs industrial textures with refined design—featuring marble worktops, exposed timber and brick shelving, and a tiled splashback. There’s a dedicated dining zone, along with clever under-stairs storage that easily doubles as a walk-in pantry.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a generous double room framed by Crittall glazing, high ceilings, and textured brick walls, complete with an en-suite full bathroom. A second spacious double bedroom offers plenty of room for storage and uses a separate main bathroom on the same floor.
