Flat 4, 126, Lower Clapton Road, London, E5 0QR

The Home - Occupying a position within the historic Grade II listed Lorne House - a striking Victorian building in the heart of Lower Clapton, this beautifully proportioned three double bedroom apartment combines period character with a contemporary finish.

Converted in 2015, the building retains an impressive sense of scale, from its grand shared entrance hall and stained-glass staircase window to the tall sash windows and high ceilings found throughout the apartment itself.

The flat enjoys a notably peaceful setting, screened by mature trees.

Large west-facing windows flood the apartment with natural light throughout the afternoon and evening, while dual-aspect glazing to both the living space and main bedroom further enhances the feeling of openness.

Residents speak highly of the building's friendly community, with many long-term owners and occupiers contributing to its welcoming atmosphere.

Millfields Park and the River Lea is a short walk away providing access to green space and nature. Hackney Central and Clapton overground are also close by providing great transport links.

The Indoors A long entrance hall runs through the centre of the apartment, complete with a useful storage cupboard and engineered oak flooring which continues throughout.

Recessed spot lighting and high ceilings create a clean, contemporary backdrop, while the proportions remain true to the building's Victorian origins.

At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen space. Dual-aspect sash windows bring in light from two directions and frame leafy views over the surrounding trees.

The room comfortably accommodates separate seating and dining areas, making it equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen is arranged along one wall with sleek cabinetry, granite worktops and integrated appliances, balancing practicality with a simple, understated design.

The main bedroom is particularly impressive, benefitting from dual-aspect windows and excellent natural light throughout the day.

There is ample space for a king-size bed, additional furniture and a dedicated workspace if required.

A second bedroom sits quietly alongside and works equally well as a guest room, nursery or home office. Two bathrooms serve the apartment.
