Elderfield Road, London, E5

Behind its handsome double-fronted facade, this four-bedroom home occupies an enviable position in the heart of Lower Clapton, just a short walk from the shops, restaurants, and cafes of Chatsworth Road. Set over three storeys, the wonderfully spacious house exceeds 1,600 sq ft internally and has a private courtyard garden to the rear.

It sits proudly raised from the pavement on the sought-after Elderfield Road. Upon entering the upper ground floor, original floorboards lie underfoot. Sensitively refurbished and maintained by its current owners, the interior spaces are unified by original features and a complementing colour palette. Painted doors and architraves throughout accentuate the original architectural detailing.

Immediately to the right of the entrance hall is a spacious dual-aspect room with a log-burning stove and exposed brick walls, currently occupied as a bedroom. Opposite lies an additional bedroom with cast-iron radiators and original flooring. A useful shower room is accessed from this level off the landing space.

Steps descend to the lower level, where the living space has been opened up to create a voluminous open-plan reception room with kitchen cabinetry lining one side. The industrial-style units sit beneath a solid wood worktop, and the freestanding island houses a Belfast sink and appliances underneath. Filled with light from the sash bay windows, the living and dining areas are bright and uncluttered in their design. Glazed doors to the rear flow out into the private rear garden; south-east facing and extending to some 55 feet, it is low maintenance and perfectly secluded and sheltered.

Moving back upstairs, two further bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the top floor, with the wooden flooring continuing throughout. The larger of the two benefits from fitted cabinetry and original shutters, while the second enjoys private views out to the rear garden. The bathroom itself is spacious, with an expansive shower, freestanding bath, and feature fireplace.
The house is excellently located just off Chatsworth Road, which runs north from Homerton to Millfields Park. Home to a plethora of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, including Leo’s, Millfields Coffee, and Finks Chats. The Elderfield pub is a local favourite just a short walk away, as is The Chesham Arms in Homerton. For green space, Millfields Park and Hackney Marshes are only a few minutes' walk from the house.

The closest stations are Homerton and Clapton Overground, offering direct services to Liverpool Street, Stratford, and Highbury and Islington. There are also excellent bus routes into central London.
