Mission Apartments, Hackney Wick, E3

A beautifully proportioned three-bedroom duplex set within Mission House, part of the restored St Mary of Eton church buildings in Hackney Wick.

Arranged across the first and second floors, the apartment offers 922 sq ft of internal space, with a generous kitchen and reception room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and useful storage. The main living space has real presence, centred around a large arched Gothic window that brings light deep into the room. High ceilings, clean lines and warm timber flooring give the apartment a calm, understated feel, while the historic setting adds a level of character rarely found in a modern development.

Mission Apartments forms part of the wider St Mary of Eton campus, a sensitive Matthew Lloyd Architects scheme that restored and adapted the church buildings while adding new homes, community space, a courtyard and café. The wider development won a RIBA National Award, RIBA London Award, Housing Design Award and NLA Award in 2015.

The building has a strong local story. St Mary of Eton was originally connected to the Eton Mission, established in Hackney Wick in the late 19th century, with the present church built between 1890 and 1892. The result today is a distinctive mix of Gothic Revival architecture, red brick, stone detailing and carefully considered contemporary additions.

The location is excellent for buyers who want green space, food, culture and transport close by. Victoria Park’s Molesworth Gate is around 500 ft away, giving quick access to one of East London’s best parks, including open lawns, sports pitches, cafés and the popular Sunday market. Victoria Park Village is within easy reach for independent restaurants, pubs, bakeries and neighbourhood shops. Hackney Wick is also close by, with canalside bars, restaurants, galleries, studios and the wider creative scene around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

For transport, Homerton Overground is nearby, with direct links towards Stratford and Highbury & Islington. Hackney Wick Overground is also within reach, giving quick access to Stratford, Westfield, the Olympic Park and onward Underground, rail and Elizabeth line connections. Stratford is one stop from Homerton, making the apartment well placed for the City, Canary Wharf and wider London.
