The Home - This light and airy one bedroom apartment is situated on Mothers Square in Lower Clapton. The apartment has been sensitively maintained by the current owner, A neutral colour palette accentuates light drawn in from large sash windows from two aspects and a light floor ties the spaces together cohesively. Mothers Square is a short walk from the cafes and restaurants on Chatsworth Road and the sprawling green space of Hackney Downs Park. Designed by architect Edward Burd in 1990, Mothers Square curves around a gated courtyard. The architectural style is loosely neo-classical, contrasting strikingly with the contemporary interiors.

The Indoors -

Entry is to a generous hallway; on the right is the living and dining room. Here, a pair of sash windows look out onto the communal gardens. Light laminate flooring runs through the apartment and links the space seamlessly. The walls have been painted in a neutral tone bouncing light throughout the room.

The kitchen lies opposite, the space is bright with a large window and a mix of low and high level cabinetry with grey doors completing the look. A stand-alone, cabinet adds additional storage and frames the south-facing casement window, which allow the afternoon sun to pour through.

The calming primary bedroom has a large south facing window allows light to flood the room with plenty of room for wardrobes.

The bathroom is finished with metro brick tiling and open shelving above the sink.
