Gibbs Lane, Haggerston, E2

Set on a serene side street beside Haggerston Park, this generously proportioned one-bedroom apartment occupies the first floor of a well-maintained contemporary development, offering abundant natural light and a full-width private balcony in the vibrant heart of Haggerston.


Cicely Williams Court provides a secure and thoughtfully designed residential setting, discreetly tucked away yet ideally located between the buzz of Columbia Road, the open green space of Haggerston Park, and the ever-popular London Fields. Completed in 2016, this mid-sized development comprises just 23 self-contained apartments and benefits from secure fob entry, CCTV, and covered cycle storage.


Positioned on the first floor, the apartment enjoys a cleverly arranged layout, elevated by excellent natural light throughout. The standout feature of the dual-aspect reception room is its floor-to-ceiling, double-glazed windows, which open onto a full-width, west-facing balcony that spans the entire length of the home. Ideal for entertaining, the inviting living area is anchored by a sleek, integrated kitchen, discreetly positioned to one side to maximise both space and functionality.


Off the hallway, the generously sized double bedroom offers ample space for a large bed, wardrobes, and a dedicated desk area, all without compromising comfort. Like the reception, it opens directly onto the balcony, creating a rare sense of indoor-outdoor continuity.


The bathroom is conveniently located just off the entrance, providing guests with easy access without requiring them to pass through the bedroom. Finished in a clean, modern style, it features a full bathtub and streamlined fixtures. Two large hallway cupboards offer valuable concealed storage, a rare and highly practical feature in modern London apartments.


Cicely Williams Court enjoys a prime East London location with excellent transport connections. Both Cambridge Heath and Bethnal Green stations are within easy walking distance, placing the Overground, Central Line, and Elizabeth Line all within reach. The apartment is also moments from the buzz of Broadway Market and Columbia Road, as well as the calm of London Fields and Regent’s Canal.


The surrounding neighbourhood is celebrated for its thriving food and café culture. Favourites include long-standing institutions such as Brawn on Columbia Road and L’eau à la Bouche, a much-loved local deli. Nearby, Rogues and Elliot’s offer standout modern dining, while Michelin-starred options like Andy Beynon’s Behind and Rafael Cagali’s Da Terra add a fine dining dimension. These are complemented by an abundance of independent restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops throughout the area. Weekend markets are another major draw: Columbia Road Flower Market is beloved for its vibrant selection of flowers and plants - often enjoyed with a pastry and coffee from a nearby café - while Broadway Market offers a bustling mix of street food, drinks, and stalls selling everything from organic produce and artisan cheeses to homewares and local art.

This turnkey home offers the perfect blend of modern convenience, generous proportions, and a superbly connected setting ideal for first-time buyers, professionals, or anyone seeking a stylish, low-maintenance base in one of East London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
