At 506 sq ft it suits a first-time buyer seeking a manageable, light-filled home close to Stoke Newington’s shops, cafés and excellent transport links. Chain-free sale makes moving straightforward.

Residents also have access to the cobbled communal square and rear garden, and Stoke Newington Overground is a short walk away for fast links into the City and Central London.
Buyers should note the property is compact and will suit someone comfortable with smaller living spaces. The service charge is around £2,000 pa and ground rent is £50; the EPC rating is D. Construction is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, so there is scope to improve thermal performance and reduce running costs.
The location is lively with many local amenities and strong schooling options nearby, but the immediate area records higher crime and relative deprivation statistics compared with London averages. Overall this is a characterful, leasehold first home with clear potential for energy improvements and cosmetic updating.
