Features and description
- Leasehold
Positioned in a converted bible factory in Dalston, east London, this two-bedroom house is wonderfully light and tranquil. Living spaces unfold across two floors plus a mezzanine level, finished in a brilliant white that accentuates the volume and lines of the architecture. The house has a small front garden, and sits immediately on the garden square of the gated development. Independent Place is within easy reach of the best of Dalston, Stoke Newington and Hackney and a short walk from Hackney Downs Park.
The Tour
Independent Place is a secure development of converted warehouse buildings just off Shacklewell Lane. The gated complex is divided into three main sections, with this section discretely tucked away on a beautiful square. It retains the hallmarks of the original warehouse design, including handsome exterior brickwork and large windows. There is plenty of visitor parking nearby.
Entry is on the ground floor, immediately into the open-plan living spaces. Wonderfully high ceilings create a sense of volume and are paired with a simple palette of white walls and engineered oak floorboards. Storage has been neatly concealed under the stairs, shielded by paint-splattered floorboards, their design firmly in keeping with the warehouse aesthetic.
Tucked around the corner is a kitchen, with a dining space adjacent. The kitchen has recently been updated by the current owner with new cabinetry, a white-tiled splashback and solid oak worktops. It is at once sociable yet unobtrusive, open to the living area yet removed from the action.
The first floor is home to both bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom overlooks the garden square, ensuring a sense of peace pervades. The ceilings extend to the roof’s pitch, crowning a mezzanine level above the sleeping area which is currently home to an office/studio area. Open-tread stairs provide access. The second bedroom is a bright space, where two generous windows flood the space with light; storage takes the form of built-in cupboards. A bathroom is positioned in between, home to a large walk-in shower.
Outdoor Space
A small front garden is situated off the ground-floor living room. The house also sits on the communal garden square within the gated development, which feels wonderfully private and tucked away from the energy of Dalston beyond. This has been thoughtfully planted with flourishing borders, shrubs and mature trees; several sections of lawn are dotted with daisies and interspersed with paths that wind around the greenery. Benches provide a secluded spot to sit and relax.
The Area
The house is just off Shacklewell Lane, north of the famous London Fields and bustling Mare Street. The green spaces of Victoria Park and the Regent’s Canal path are within easy reach. There are many fantastic restaurants locally, notably Lardo on Richmond Road, Angelina’s on Dalston Lane, and Pidgin and Violet on Wilton Way. The renowned Dusty Knuckle bakery is a short walk away, as is the bar Brilliant Corners.
Weekly markets occur at Victoria Park and Well Street, and Broadway Market has a reputation for excellent places to eat and drink and hosts a food market on Saturdays. The e5 Bakehouse, on the edge of London Fields, is excellent for freshly baked artisan bread and grains.
Hackney Downs and Dalston Kingsland Overground stations are both a 10-minute walk from Independent Place and provide links to Liverpool Street in less than 10 minutes. Buses run regularly to London Bridge and the City from nearby Kingsland Road. Bethnal Green Underground station, easily accessible by bus, has excellent links to central London via the Central Line.
