Ickburgh Road, Hackney, E5 8AD

Set on a quiet residential street between Clapton and Hackney Downs, this substantial six bedroom Victorian house is defined by space, light and architectural presence.

At its centre is a striking original staircase, galleried and beautifully proportioned, forming the spine of the home and giving it a rare sense of drama and flow.

The entrance hall leads directly to the staircase and the main reception room to the front of the house.

High ceilings, period cornicing, a grand marble fireplace and a wide bay window create an elegant, characterful living space.

One level below, the kitchen opens via French doors onto a large, south-facing garden.

Mature and private, the garden is arranged in three sections and includes a garden studio and fire pit at its far end, ideal for work, entertaining or retreat.

A study or guest room sits alongside the kitchen, overlooking the garden and offering flexible use. Two double bedrooms and a separate WC occupy the third floor.

The principal bedroom is currently arranged as a self-contained flat, easily reverted to a generous main bedroom suite.

Three further double bedrooms are arranged across the top two floors, along with a shower room and separate WC.

The house is positioned on a sought-after no-through street, moments from Clapton Overground Station, with easy access to Stoke Newington, Hackney Downs and Hackney Marshes, and within the catchment for well-regarded schools.
