Chain‑free two-bed near Old Street — strong rental and first‑home potential.
Two double bedrooms with good natural light
Set on the second floor of a post‑war brick block, this two double‑bedroom apartment offers a central Hoxton/Old Street address and genuine rental or first‑home potential. The layout includes a well‑proportioned reception with a traditional fireplace, a separate kitchen, bathroom with a bath and a separate guest WC. Large windows give good natural light; a balcony and lift access add convenience for upper‑floor living.
The flat is chain‑free and only 0.4 miles from Old Street station, with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a wide choice of local amenities and green walks along the canal. Low local crime and several highly rated nearby schools strengthen appeal to buyers seeking a secure central location with lifestyle amenities.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold (circa 90 years remaining), with an average service charge of about £1,800pa and a nominal ground rent. Interiors are in reasonable but dated condition and would benefit from modernisation; the building has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation. The flat is former local authority stock, which may affect some buyers' mortgage or insurance choices.
This apartment will suit a buyer wanting a central London base to update to their taste or an investor targeting strong rental demand near Old Street and Shoreditch. Be clear on lease length and ongoing charges before committing; refurbishment will unlock more value in this well‑located home.
