Bringing together East London cool and unsparing comfort, this beautifully designed apartment in Hackney is just the ticket for those looking to soak up the capital’s trendy side. Housed in an architecturally stunning building that’s the very definition of industrial chic – think swathes of glass, an impressive atrium, pendant lighting and a smart red-brick facade – this home wears its hipness with effortless ease. From the pink sectional sofa to the shelves stacked with books and the assortment of houseplants, the open-plan living area is a chilled-out space you’ll have no trouble relaxing in. We love the bench-style dining table that’s ready to host sociable soirées when you’re not out sampling the neighbourhood’s innovative food scene, as well as the private balcony that beckons sunny morning coffees and celebratory sundowners alike. The bedrooms are just as stylish with their statement artwork, comfortable beds and wonderful floor-to-ceiling windows, while the pair of bathrooms – one of which is en-suite – are sure to get any day off on the right foot with their rainfall showers. And should you need to mix business with pleasure, you’ll find a desk space here too equipped with a screen to make working from home a breeze. With trendy Hackney on your doorstep, there's no shortage of vibrant nightlife to enjoy, including an array of hip bars, atmospheric pubs and eclectic eateries. You’re also a twenty-minute walk from Dalston – home to vintage boutiques and yet more funky restaurants and bars – while leafy victoria Park is a fifteen-minute stroll from your door.
