The apartment has modern fixtures, integrated kitchen appliances and underfloor heating for efficient, comfortable living.
The property sits opposite Hackney Marshes and is about 0.8 miles from Homerton and Hackney Wick Overground stations, with fast connections to Stratford and Central London. The development was built 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing and a long lease (approx. 985 years), reducing long-term ownership risks. Local amenities, cultural venues and Westfield are within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is a cash-purchase opportunity. The development charges are material: an average service charge of £3,588 per year (listing) and a ground rent of £200 per annum; a separate data point shows a higher recent service charge figure (£6,642.35 for 2024) — prospective purchasers must verify the current amount. The area has above-average crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and lettings premiums.
Overall this is a compact, modern apartment best suited to investors or buyers able to purchase without mortgage finance. It delivers strong location benefits and a long lease, but plan for running costs, local area challenges and limited internal space.
