Flat to rent in Mount Pleasant Lane, Clapton, London E5

An exceptionally well-presented unfurnished, first floor, two bedroom flat with two bedrooms, living room, plus well-specified kitchen area and shower room. This flat is available straight away.

The flat occupies the majority of the first floor of an impressive, converted double-fronted Edwardian villa and is set on a wonderful tree-lined residential street, surrounded by similarly attractive properties. This property is ideally suited to a couple wanting extra space (perhaps a home office) or a couple and child, although the landlord previously shared the home with a friend, so could accommodate two sharers; however, the second bedroom is smaller than the first (please see the floor plan).

As you enter from the front door, to the right and across the hallway is bedroom two – which has a large sash window looking out to the rear of the property. The room offers a built-in storage cupboard which leaves room for a bed, side cabinets and additional chests of drawers.

Back to the hallway and on your right, you’ll find a wide squared archway which leads into the bright reception room. A large east-facing bay with tall sash windows provides exceptional natural light and there’s generous room for a large settee, entertainment unit and bookcases. The size of the room would allow for a large, stylish centre rug completed by a feature coffee table.

Opposite the bay window, at the far end of this large room is the kitchen area. The L-shaped design includes a range of base and wall cabinets and a full height, integrated fridge/freezer. Cabinets are gloss white in a shaker-style with modern chrome handles, and the countertops are in a high-quality solid timber. There’s a stainless-steel sink with modern chrome mixer tap, a washing machine, a built-in stainless-steel cooker and a gas hob with extractor above.

Backsplashes are formed from stone grey mosaic tiles and there are two vertical panels of glass blocks which add an interesting design touch and serve to provide additional light into the internal hallway. Flooring throughout this space is high quality engineered timber and there are three radiators which follow the form of the bay window.

Returning to the hallway, to your right is the stylish shower room. There’s a high quality, wall-mounted vanity unit comprising of a large basin with mono-block tap and two drawers below, plus a wall-mounted mirror with a shelf. The large walk-in shower cubicle with glazed panel has a rainfall shower above and a separate wall-mounted shower head, and there’s a cleverly designed shelf set into the wall. There’s a modern low-flush WC, with a built-in cupboard behind, which houses and conceals the central heating boiler.

The final room at the far end of the hallway is bedroom one, which looks out to the front of the property. This is a good sized double room with a large wardrobe including both hanging space and drawers. There’s space for a double bed and bedside cabinets with room left over for additional storage, a dressing table or an armchair.

The property is ideally located directly between the fabulous facilities offered by the Upper Clapton Road and the relaxing green spaces of Springfield and Millfield Parks. Upper Clapton Road and the surrounding streets provide every conceivable amenity, including a host of independent shops and hospitality businesses, such as the Crooked Billet Pub and Restaurant, Sodo Pizza and The Dialogue Café. There are supermarkets, pharmacies, health centres and schools within a few minutes’ walk including the Ofsted outstanding-rated Southwold Primary School.

The property is also only a few minutes’ walk from the River Lea, where you can take relaxing walks alongside the many narrow boats, with riverside pubs such as the Princess of Wales and the Anchor & Hope and cross to the wonderful open spaces of the Hackney and Walthamstow Marshes and Lee Valley Park. Clapton Overground station is just five minutes’ away, which will get you into central London in less than 20 minutes and there are excellent bus services accessible on the doorstep.
