The south-facing balcony sits quietly off the upper floor, offering a private place to step outside without leaving home. It works just as well for a small table and chairs as it does for plants or a single lounge seat, catching sunlight for much of the day. From here, views stretch across the surrounding streets and rooftops, giving a real sense of the neighbourhood rather than a closed-in outlook. Beyond the building, the River Lea paths and the open spaces of Victoria Park are close enough to become part of daily routine, whether for early walks, evening runs, or long weekend afternoons outdoors.
