Double in 2 bed duplex in Arthaus, London Fields

Private terrace

Hi, I’m James and I’ve been living in this apartment for about 12 years now. I'm pretty active, but often around a few evenings each week and like living with someone so always keen for a chat or the occasional dinner. I like bikes and the outdoors and the art and culture that London has to offer. I work in design and like making things.

My current house mate is moving out in November.

The location is super close to Hackney Central overground station as well as London Fields. I love the area: London Fields park and lido are 2mins away, fancy Pophams downstairs, e5 bakehouse over the road, plenty of local shops & cafes nearby, and Broadway Market at the weekend is a lively spot.

The flat is a good layout with a large living area upstairs and a big private terrace. There's also a WC upstairs. Downstairs there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one for each bedroom).

The room itself has a large built in wardrobe, underfloor heating and floor to ceiling windows and there's sole use of the large bathroom (shower and bath).

The living area upstairs has a big table with benches which can seat about 8 and it’s great for having people round for food etc. Kitchen has all the usual stuff, there’s a decent stereo for music (records and CDs!) and radio and there’s a drying cupboard with washer/dryer so there’s no need to have clothes rails full of washing out all the time (this makes a big difference!).

There's an underground bike store accessible behind a locked gate. There's also a large communal roof terrace.

If you smoke it's fine to do so on the terrace.
