Blackburn House, Hackney Gardens,E8

This stunning light-filled 798 sq ft two bedroom apartment, with spacious private balcony, is part of Hackney Gardens - a private-gated luxury development, with an exclusive SECRET GARDEN, nestled in the heart of Hackney, surrounded by history on the grounds of the renowned St Johns at Hackney Church and the medieval tower of St Augustine's.

These beautiful apartments offer an abundance of space and light with over-sized windows, large living spaces, luxury kitchens and bathrooms as well as a CONCIERGE and communal square which adds to the magnificent surroundings of this development.

Creativity, arts and culture abound, Hackney Gardens is enviably located in the TRANQUIL GARDENS of an ancient churchyard in London’s trendy E8 postcode. The 58 one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments bask in the grandeur of the adjacent St John at Hackney – an 18th Century, Grade II Listed church, which is as popular for its Sunday services as for its star-studded gigs, which have featured Coldplay, Bloc Party and Ed Sheeran in recent years.

A stone’s throw from the lifeblood of activity that thunders through Hackney Central. Hackney Gardens is a gated community nestled within landscaped communal gardens, inspired by the rich greenery of Hackney’s numerous parks. There is also an abundance of private outdoor space in which to relax and unwind.
Internally, each apartment benefits from spacious open-play layouts, high specification kitchens and bathrooms, and under-floor heating. Vast windows drench the interior spaces in natural light, while a large private terrace or balcony comes with every apartment.

Onsite facilities include bike storage – ideal for maximising use of the multiple cycle paths and cycle superhighways that connect Hackney with Liverpool Street, Stoke Newington and Tottenham, as well as a dedicated concierge.

As one of London’s original artisanal hubs, Hackney is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. Foodies are spoilt for choice with cult eateries including Lardo just ten minutes from the Hackney Gardens, and Broadway Market, which is lined with a smorgasbord of restaurants and bars, and home to a plethora of busy Saturday stalls that sell organic produce and experiment with the latest food trends a short distance away.

As London’s greenest borough, Hackney enjoys 815 acres of green space. Victoria Park, with its boating lake and Pavilion Café, plays hosts to Lovebox and Field Day, while London Fields has a thriving live music scene, but is also home to a wildflower meadow for those seeking sanctuary.
Moments from Hackney Central, which offers links to Oxftaord Street in 20 minutes, Shoreditch in 17 minutes, and Canary Wharf 27 minutes, Hackney Gardens is perfectly located for those who work across the capital. Meanwhile, trains from Hackney Downs offer direct links to Liverpool Street in eight minutes. For international travellers, City Airport is 35 minutes via the Overground, while Stansted is accessible in just over half an hour by car.
