87, Markhouse Road, London, E17 8DH

Full of personality and clever architectural touches, this distinctive one-bedroom house offers something special for your first home. Arranged across three floors, with approximately 436 sq. Ft.

Of accommodation, a private courtyard garden and an excellent St James location, it combines modern comforts with an imaginative layout.

Offered with no onward chain, it’s an inviting opportunity for first-time buyers. Behind the striking frontage, the entrance leads through to a modern kitchen/diner stretching over 19ft.

Sleek handleless cabinetry, contrasting worktops and open shelving create a stylish, practical space, complete with a built-in oven, gas hob and statement cylindrical extractor.

Wooden floorboards add warmth, while space for a dining table makes this a lovely setting for everyday meals or dinner with a friend.

A glazed rear door opens onto the courtyard garden, where chequered paving, exposed brick walls and timber screening create a charming outdoor retreat.

There’s room for seating and pots of greenery, perfect for a morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Upstairs, the first-floor reception is a particularly memorable space.

Two tall front windows and a rooflight bring in natural light, while the double-height ceiling above the seating area gives the room an airy feel.

Wooden flooring and an open staircase complement the architecture, with room for a sofa and a work from home area.

The bathroom sits to the rear, featuring a bath with overhead shower, a vanity basin and a window for natural light.

The staircase continues to the double bedroom on the top floor, arranged as a mezzanine overlooking the reception below.

A rear window frames views across the rooftops, while space beside the stairs provides a useful dressing area. It’s a cosy retreat that completes this characterful home.

The property is ideally positioned just a short walk from St James Street station, providing direct London Overground services to Liverpool Street in around 15 minutes.
