Amhurst Road, London, E8

Set on Amhurst Road in the heart of E8, this 1,500 sq. ft. share of freehold maisonette offers a private entrance and two storeys of flexible living space. Young families will find plenty of room to grow into, while those scaling down from a much larger house won't feel short of space either. It's a layout that suits a range of lifestyles without compromise.

The lower ground floor offers a wealth of entertaining space, configured around a generous kitchen with stone-topped island and sleek cabinetry. The dining space opens up the back of the house into the garden, and the reception room retains the original bay window which floods the space with light. There’s a gorgeous shower room, too, with stylish detailing, plus a handy utility cupboard.

Upstairs hosts two large double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a flexible third room, perfect for little ones, a home office or occasional spare/guest room.

Outside, a large and leafy rear garden brings a real sense of seclusion, something not easy to find this close to central Hackney, while the first floor balcony overlooking the gardens makes a lovely spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. Inside, the rooms are well-proportioned and stylishly finished throughout, with adaptable spaces that can shift from home office to playroom as your needs change.

The location is hard to beat. This pocket of E8 sits close to some of the area's best independent shops, cafes and restaurants, with quick transport links into the city for the commute. Families will also appreciate being within easy reach of some of the borough's most outstanding schools, making this as smart a long-term move as it is a lovely place to call home.
