Columbia Road Flower Market and Old Spitalfields Market are within walking distance, as are Shoreditch Park and Haggerston Park.

Onward plans:
The current owners are having a baby so they’re looking to upsize. They are actively looking.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Tucked between Hoxton and Shoreditch, this striking two-bedroom, first-floor warehouse conversion overflows with character, charm and colour.

Inside, you're welcomed by a metallic spiral staircase that leads up to the apartment's front door. Bare brick walls, loading doors, glass wall blocks and exposed steel beams nod to the building's heritage, while colourful artwork, plants and textured furnishings contrast against the industrial design, creating a dynamic and comfortable home.

Huge, dual-aspect windows flood the main living area with light. It's an impressive multi-purpose space that's been divided into sections: a cosy living room, a spacious dining area, a reading nook with bespoke curved shelving and hidden storage, and kitchen. Down the hall are two double bedrooms with mammoth windows, one with a useful dressing area and an en-suite shower room. The main wetroom is elegant and luxurious with its floor-to-ceiling black tiles.

If you're after a buzzy London lifestyle, then you can't beat this location. Regent's Canal is a short stroll away in one direction, with delicious waterside cafes and restaurants such as Towpath and WaterHouse, while Kingsland Road is in the other, and an impressive array of Vietnamese eateries full of perfect pho. At the end of Fanshaw Street, you'll find faultless Tuscan flatbread sandwiches at Dal Fiorentino.

THE OWNERS SAY

Living in the Academy Buildings in Hoxton offers a blend of historic charm and urban living in one of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods. The building is a unique warehouse conversion and we have loved the high ceilings and wonderful windows that flood the space with light. It's a place rich in character and big in heart - we'll be sad to say goodbye!

The Hoxton location has been incredible. It places you in the heart of East London's creative scene, surrounded by cafés, art galleries, and boutique shops. Shoreditch, Old Street, and the City are also within easy reach. And with excellent transport links and a thriving local community, we've been spoiled for convenience and culture.

1 Museum of the Home

A wonderful little museum set in a beautiful 18th-century almshouse. If you like nosing around other peoples homes, then you'll love this place. Oozing with history and fascinating room sets from the by-gone years of London's homes, from 1600 to present day. You can 'time travel' from one room to another and the absolute attention to detail, from the curtains to the flowers on the table, and the vintage newspaper on the table, is really pretty impressive. The front garden is open all year round and is a great green pitstop if you're in the area, plus the herb garden behind the house is really worth a wander with a very impressive collection of plants and a delightful smell!

2 Fabrique Bakery

A great pitstop after a morning at Columbia Road market, this Swedish bakery use a stone oven to make amazing bread and even more amazing cinnamon and cardamon buns, they are seriously to die for. The sandwiches are pretty good too and the Mr & Mrs toast is highly recommended. Tucked away behind the Geffrye Museum in a railway arch, it's well worth a little detour.

3 Columbia Road Flower Market

A bona fide institution, and by far the most colourful market in London, the flower market at Columbia Road kicks off at 8 every Sunday morning and wraps up around 3. (Pro tip: You can get fantastic two-for-£10 bunches towards the end of the day.) Browse stall after stall of beautiful blooms while popping into the shops along Columbia Road—all of which are independently owned. For pre-market fuel, hit World Barista Champion Gwilym Davies’s coffee cart on Ezra Street, just behind the market.

4 Morito

Morito has served arguably the finest tapas in London since it first appeared as an offshoot of Moro in Exmouth Market in 2010, and in 2016, Hackney got its very own Morito—bigger, brighter, and perhaps even better, thanks to its unique fusion of Spanish and Northern African cuisine. Try a little bit of everything (that’s the beauty of tapas, right?!), then chase it down with a full flight of sherry from the extensive menu.

5 Campania & Jones

This small, family run Italian restaurant is just off Columbia Road and is AMAZING. Set within a beautiful old dairy it is easily one of the most special places in the area. Indeed – we think – anywhere in London. We won't say any more, just GO. OK?
