Set on a peaceful no-through road just moments from Victoria Park, this newly renovated raised ground-floor conversion blends Victorian character with contemporary comfort. High ceilings, timber sash-style double glazing, exposed wooden floors and grand fireplaces create a warm, airy living space ideal for a first home or pied-a-terre. The southerly bay-fronted reception brings good natural light and flexible layout that can function as a two-bedroom arrangement if required.
The bespoke integrated kitchen and stylish shower room are modern and efficient, and the property benefits from a very long lease (approx. 980 years) and share of freehold. Homerton Overground and local bus routes provide swift links to the City and West End, while Chatsworth Road, Mare Street and nearby cafés and eateries supply everyday conveniences and characterful amenities.
Be candid about the local context: the immediate area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime rates, so buyers should weigh location against the strong park access and transport links. The building is a Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls—period charm comes with limited wall insulation, which may affect energy efficiency and running costs despite mains gas heating.
Overall, this compact 455 sq ft flat is a practical, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-presented period conversion close to green space and excellent transport. The flat’s size and inner-city setting suit those prioritising location and character over extensive living space.
