For Sale3 Bedroom Flat in Dalston Square, London, E8£725,000

This smart and stylish three-bedroom, two bathroom apartment sits on the 3rd floor of a sought-after development in the heart of Dalston, surrounded by incredible amenities, transport links and even greenery. As well as the immaculate decor and abundance of natural light, the home benefits from a spacious open plan living area, plenty of storage, a private west-facing balcony, a residents’ gym and a concierge service. And if that wasn’t enough, it’s available chain-free, too. IF YOU LIVED HERE... We’d go as far as to say that it’s impossible bored in London’s coolest quarter - Dalston will constantly keep you on your toes with its thriving food and drink scene, but if you do need to take time out, your home is the perfect sanctuary… Coming in at 850 square feet, the apartment’s awe-inducing views add to the great sense of proportion, as does the immaculate decor, giving it all a dazzling yet calm feel. The open plan kitchen/reception room is particularly stylish, with the neutral tones and a balcony flanking one side - west-facing no less. The kitchen area is sleek and modern, with plenty of storage space and integrated appliances. There’s room for dining as well as relaxing, but if you’re feeling energetic you’ll be pleased to make the most of the residents’ gym (no excuse to shun your workout now!). The bedrooms all have a considered colour palette, and one have in-built storage, while the master has a contemporary en-suite with a walk-in shower, the third is being used as a walk in wardrobe. The main bathroom is just as modern, but with an over-tub shower, so you’ve got plenty of choice when it comes to bathing. As for beyond, you can wander in almost any direction and find some entertainment. To start with, how about heading to Dalston Junction and up to Voodoo Rays pizza, then the eclectic Ridley Road Market Bar, before finishing off at the unique Dalston Superstore? Slightly more low key night? Either the Prince George or Spurstowe Arms would make a brilliant local - they’re both gloriously traditional and perfect for people watching with a pint. As well as these much-loved institutions, you’ll find exciting new ventures constantly cropping up and keeping you on your toes, so prepare to be busy. WHAT ELSE? - Transport is plentiful in this area with some excellent bus routes nearby, as well as Dalston Junction station (three mins on foot), which is served by the Overground. If you have the time and energy, it’s a pleasant walk over the canal into Shoreditch, and the City, while Islington is also walkable. - The Rio Cinema is just nine minutes away on foot and has a brilliant selection of blockbusters and indies alike, as well as a great cafe bar - the perfect meeting point for a date.
