Principal Square, London, E9

Listed 7 Oct 2026 · Hackney
A really charming split level period home.
Description
Occupying the upper floors of an attractive period building, this charming split-level apartment extends to approximately 655 sq ft (60 sq m) and offers a wonderful blend of character, style and practicality.
Arranged over the second and third floors, the property has a unique layout that creates a real sense of separation between the living and sleeping accommodation. The second floor comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from excellent natural light, alongside a contemporary family bathroom and an abundance of built-in storage, making the apartment particularly practical for modern day living.
A striking staircase leads to the upper level where the property really comes into its own. The staircase is beautifully framed by an exposed brick feature wall that rises through the apartment, creating a stunning architectural focal point and adding warmth and character throughout the home. The upper floor opens into an impressive open-plan kitchen and living space, spanning almost 20 ft in length. Flooded with natural light, this expansive room provides an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining, with ample space for relaxing, dining and hosting guests.
The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned within the room, creating a sociable environment while maintaining a sense of separation from the main living area. Combined with the attractive period features, generous proportions and split-level design, the result is a home that feels both stylish and individual.
The home also benefits from a Worcester Greenstar 4000 Combi boiler, which was installed in January 2026 with a 10 year warranty.
