Pembury Place, Antony House Pembury Place

Brickworks says

Set within a striking contemporary block in Clapton, designed by Fraser Brown Mackenna and completed in 2007, this two-bedroom flat sits on the third floor of a building that knows how to make an entrance. The rich red-painted render is softened by tumbling greenery that, come spring, leans luxuriously over the concrete and metal. Exterior walkways lend a faintly European, neighbourly feel; front doors opening onto shared air rather than sealed corridors, creating a gentle hum of life about the place.

Inside, the flat is bright and easy. Full-length windows in the living space and both bedrooms pull in the light, opening out onto a south-facing balcony that runs the entire width. Ideal for morning coffee, evening supper and everything between. It’s a home that’s as good for quiet Sundays as it is for having people over.

Antony House sits in the thick of Hackney, with Clapton one way and Dalston the other. Evenings might take you to MOTH Club or Oslo; essentials are covered by the usual suspects, while parks and open green spaces are an easy wander away. Hackney Downs station is a three-minute walk, leaving the rest of London well within reach.

The owner says

The floor-to-ceiling glass doors in each room bring so much light in and across the flat throughout the day. It’s been thoughtfully designed with wide corridors and quality fixtures and fittings that have lasted. And the balcony has been wonderful — it’s another large room spanning the width of the flat. I’ve spent many hours gardening and being with friends out there. It’s a social space and everyone loves coming here. It's got a good feel and it's been a wonderful home, and block, to live in.

I like the sense of neighbourhood. People are friendly and you get to know local shop and business owners, which makes it feel like a good community. I love that it’s easily located for most parts of London and it’s in a busy, diverse area, with lots going on. Coming home always feels like you can exhale and relax.

The area is laced with bus routes — at least eight bus routes stop just across the road — and cycleways are in abundance too, so there are plenty of ways to get around the neighbourhood, and beyond.

Anything else:
The building was developed in 2007 by Fraser Brown Mackenna and is located on a former construction complex on the Pembury Estate, owned by the freeholders, Peabody Trust. The project marked a new era for the Pembury Estate, bringing a dynamic quality to the architecture through its sloping street facade and bold aesthetic. Deck access was thoughtfully located on the more overlooked elevation, so that the residents' balconies could enjoy the more secluded side of the building. Mesh screens provide both privacy and security, and these have been adorned by the residents with trailing plants and lighting to great effect.

The legal bit

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
