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
Occupying the raised ground floor of a Georgian townhouse that stands proudly in Hoxton, this one-bedroom flat is a delightful mingling that honours its original bones. It has all the features you'd hope to see—ornate windows, lofty ceilings and a flamboyant ceiling rose—as well as panelling that creates a characterful edge. Modern updates have stayed true to the building's roots, with the new kitchen not looking out of place and the traditional Burlington bathroom fitting right in.
But it's also a pleasure to see the current owners making bold and beautiful design choices. The William Morris wallpaper adds richness, and the original Andalusian floor tiles in the bathroom emit warmth and vibrancy. The terrace, accessed via the bedroom, offers a slice of sunlit seclusion, a wonderful way to start the day or end with a peaceful sundowner.
Once heralded as the epicentre of the creative scene, there's something to tickle everyone's fancy in Hoxton. Foodies will be in paradise with Cub and Kurious Yellow Kafe, whilst cultural enthusiasts can enjoy the Museum of Home and diverse events at Rich Mix or just take in the heady mix of street art and historic charm. There are plenty of opportunities for strolling along Columbia Road Flower Market or nearby Regents Canal or soaking up the vibe by people-watching in Hoxton Square.
THE OWNERS SAY
We poured our life savings into this property to make it just the way we like it. For us, it's the little details that mean the most, like the mahogany loo seat and original timber shutters on the front windows. We also adore the southwest-facing terrace. It's a complete sun trap for afternoon sunbathing and a summertime essential.
We also love the quiet street, with bike hangers and newly planted trees. There is also parking outside. We love the local restaurants (too many to mention here!) and the fact that we are only a 30-minute walk to the City and a 15-minute cycle to the West End.

landmarks
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 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.
4 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.
5 Whitecross Street Market
On weekdays, Whitecross Street—just across the street from the Barbican Centre—plays host to one of London’s best street food markets. There are so many flavours, just never enough time!
