When it comes to dramatic conversions, chapels, schoolhouses, and pubs top the wish list. A peek inside The Cricketer on Regent’s Canal, East London, shows why.
The three-bedroom flat takes over the ground floor of the Victorian pub and is located on Old Ford Road, opposite Victoria Park. Its vintage means it has lofty ceilings and tall windows that amplify light across its interiors. What was the saloon is now a living room and kitchen, with the old brick chimney painted white with built-in shelving on one side and wooden floorboards underfoot.
Three bedrooms are at the rear of the London property, for sale via The Modern House for £800,000, with views onto the flat’s terrace. Elusive outdoor space is also available via a terrace, which hangs above the canal, with Victoria Park on the other side of the bank.
Victoria Park Village is strolling distance, while Broadway Market is a 20-minute walk along the canal.
