Description
This remarkable and rare spacious flat is situated on the upper floors of a former 19th-century cotton mill on Hackney Road. Occupying the top two floors, the apartment enjoys a quiet position at the rear of the site, accessed through and overlooking the beautifully landscaped communal gardens and set back from the main road for a tranquil living experience.
The property boasts an enviable layout with three well-proportioned bedrooms, two modern bathrooms (including an en suite), and a reception room on the entry-level. Upstairs, a striking mezzanine level features a bright and airy open-plan kitchen/diner/reception room, accentuated by multiple skylights, exposed roof trusses, and an abundance of natural light. This expansive space offers both versatility and the opportunity to reconfigure the layout, subject to the usual planning consents.
Lion Mills, originally a 19th-century factory producing furniture, wool, and cotton goods, has been thoughtfully converted into residential apartments across several well-maintained buildings. The development retains a wealth of original features, including striking brickwork and large, characterful windows. The property is offered chain-free, with limited parking available at the front of the development and secure bike storage in the basement.
