BRICKWORKS SAYS
Set in a welcoming block in central Homerton, this flat chalks up points on many levels. Parquet flooring offset by the crisp white decor is indicative of the simple, effective styling that makes this flat a winner. But above all, it knows how to work its square footage for maximum impact. Rooms lead off a central corridor, accentuating the sense of space, and stacks of storage have been snuck in, providing practical solutions and aesthetic interest.
Everything in the flat does the job and does it well. The kitchen is compact and unpretentious, with warm wood touches. The two bedrooms are evenly sized and versatile. And the bathroom is, well, just gorgeous, with its green, tessellated tiles and walk-in shower. It may be all of a buzz in the surrounding neighbourhood, but this flat is a haven of peace and calm.
Nisbet House is made for anyone who has fallen for the scene in this corner of London. You are minutes from the bakeries, bistros and boutiques of Chatsworth Road, the floral delights of nearby Colombia Road and the urban pull of Hackney Wick; there’s something for every mood. Plus, meanders along the canal and the vast open spaces of Victoria Park provide opportunities for enjoying the outdoors.
THE OWNERS SAY
We have loved every minute of living in this flat and will be really sad to leave. I fell for the parquet floors and the location –– I think they're hard to beat.
Homerton has so much to offer: coffee shops, parks, weekend food markets, antique shops and pubs galore... I could go on! And there's always something on with the crowd-funded Castle cinema and community-owned pub, the Chesham Arms. Chatsworth Road, just opposite, is always full of life, but you don't have to travel far to Lower Clapton, Columbia Road and Hackney Wick to find many more hidden gems.
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.

1 Dark Arts Coffee
Every neighbourhood needs decent coffee, and this is the go-to for those who take their coffee roasting seriously. Discover global flavours with a brew-at-home subscription, or show your allegiance with some Dark Arts merch.
2 Wells Street Pizza
When you have a pizza itch that needs scratching, head straight to Wells Street to pick up a slice of Naples. The pizzas are the real sourdough deal, and the beer is local – what’s not to love?
3 Chesham Arms
A pub that inspires great passion amongst locals (the community came together to fend off developers) and you can see why. With decent beers, a wood burner and beer garden, it suits any weather and is the epitome of a friendly local. Long may it last.
4 Jim’s Café
Superb, modern European restaurant on Chatsworth Rd, set up under the guidance of Nuno Mendes. Totally unpretentious on the outside, and totally delicious on the inside. Love.
5 Paper Dress Vintage
There’s much more to this boutique than first meets the eye. Pick up some exquisite vintage garms and then come back later to strut your stuff on the dancefloor as it transforms into a popular late-night venue.
