London Fields West Side, London Fields, E8

This fabulous new architect-designed contemporary three bedroom townhouse at the northwest corner of London Fields has a stunning top floor roof terrace with 360 degree views of the park and surrounding neighbourhood.

Set over three storeys, from the ground up to the second floor, the property is inverted with the main living area on the top floor. This large loft-style room has windows on all sides, including full-height west and south-facing windows, a circular skylight, and a southeast-facing balcony with bifold doors and lovely views of the lido and the park. A bespoke kitchen is fitted along one wall, and a central galvanised steel stair leads up to the top floor reading room and roof terrace.

The terrace wraps around the central stairwell. It’s fully decked with a covered entrance and enclosed by a galvanised steel balustrade. There is ample space for dining or soaking up the sun, and panoramic views of the fields, lido, and back gardens below. Descending the staircase from the roof, there’s a bathroom opposite, directly off the living room. This has white penny mosaic tiling, a contemporary bathroom suite that includes a bath with an overhead shower, a shower screen, a heated towel rail, and a west-facing window.

The first floor below comprises the main bedroom, which has park views, a circular skylight and built-in storage, and an adjacent wet room with white penny mosaic tiling and a small window. Two further double bedrooms are on the ground floor, one to the front of the building and one to the rear. The front bedroom is accessed directly from the main entrance. It has an en suite wet room and would make an ideal workspace or treatment room. The rear bedroom, which has a large skylight, is tucked away and accessed via a small half-landing.
 
The house has a street entrance, and an adjacent built-in external bin store. There's space for cycle parking in the ground floor hallway. The property is well-insulated and energy-efficient, with an EPC B rating. It has two solar panels, so occupiers can potentially sell any excess energy to their electricity supplier.

London Fields West Side is a development of just two townhouses by award-winning architects Chance de Silva, who have a track record of creating beautiful one-off properties which respond to and enhance their surroundings. Located in a prime position opposite the lido and the northwest corner of the fields, the development has multiple internal levels and a variety of window treatments that provide views of the fields and whimsical glimpses of the surrounding neighbourhood. The interiors mix industrial and modern materials with a muted pastel palette to create an ambience that is both cutting-edge contemporary and comfortable.
