Large 1,087 sq ft two-bedroom maisonette with private garden
Light-filled two-bedroom maisonette set over lower-ground and first floors, recently renovated by a design studio to retain period detail. High ceilings, original shutters, bay windows and two working fireplaces give the principal reception generous character, while Crittall-style doors and timber floors add contemporary finesse.
The property extends to about 1,087 sq ft and includes a private, well-planted rear garden with decking — a rare outdoor refuge for this part of Hackney. The kitchen dining area is fitted with Corian worktops, integrated appliances and room for a table. The large bathroom includes a roll-top bath plus a walk-in shower.
Practical positives include a long (approx. 999-year) lease, share of freehold, relatively low annual service charge (£800) and fast broadband/mobile signal. Transport links are strong: Dalston Kingsland, Dalston Junction and Hackney Downs are all within a 12-minute walk, connecting you across the city.
Notable negatives: the area records above-average crime and sits in a wider deprived district — factors buyers should weigh against the home's many strengths. The building’s solid-brick Victorian walls are assumed uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs and possible retrofit work for improved thermal performance. There is one bathroom and two bedrooms, so layout suits couples, small families or sharers rather than larger households.
