Situated on Kingsland High Street, this compact one-bedroom flat offers practical city living with a private balcony and on-site concierge. The apartment is offered with no onward chain and carries an EWS1 certificate, easing purchase for mortgage buyers. A long lease of 990 years provides tenure security uncommon in many inner-London flats.
Internally the layout is efficient: an open-plan reception and integrated kitchen maximise the 522 sq ft, while large windows bring ample daylight into the living space and main bedroom. Finishes are contemporary and low-maintenance, making this a straightforward move-in or lettable home. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and streaming.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an average service charge of £3,206 and £300 ground rent annually. Heating is provided via a community scheme, which may limit individual control and affect bills. The location is inner-city and close to busy rail lines, so nearby train noise is possible from the balcony and living areas.
The local area is lively and multicultural with many cafes, shops and nightlife on the doorstep and easy access to Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction stations. However, recorded crime levels in the immediate area are very high and the wider area scores as deprived in local metrics — factors to weigh for families or those prioritising quiet neighbourhoods. Overall this flat suits a buyer seeking a well-connected, modern city base or a lettable asset in a dynamic East London neighbourhood.
