This is a great spot for those who love the urban-rural lifestyle – that illusive mix of great restaurants, bars and nightlife with country-style walks and plenty of wildlife. Located in Essex Wharf, the leafiest part of Hackney, this first-floor flat has views over the River Lea and is just a five-minute walk from nature reserves in Walthamstow and Hackney Marshes, as well as excellent pubs, cafes, shops and markets. Inside the home you’ll find a spacious king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and another that cleverly doubles as a home cinema and office space. The open-plan kitchen and living area are well-equipped and tastefully decorated, offering you all the comforts of home and ensuring your time in London feels like you're already a part of the British capital.
