This one-bedroom flat on the second floor of a purpose-built block offers straightforward city living with a private balcony and lift access. The reception room is roomy for the size, and the separate kitchen and generous bedroom make the layout practical for tenants or a single occupant. Bright interiors and laminate flooring present a clean, low-maintenance finish that reduces immediate upkeep.
Positioned moments from Hackney Road and close to Columbia Road, the property sits in an inner-city, cosmopolitan pocket with abundant local amenities, transport links and fast broadband — attractive for renters and short-let demand. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s with a concrete mid-terrace form; its construction and style are typical of the era and will appeal to buyers prioritising location and utility over period charm.
Important points for buyers: this sale is for cash purchasers only. The flat is leasehold with 87 years remaining, which may affect mortgage eligibility and future valuation; buyers should confirm service charges and ground rent. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived but benefits from low local crime and strong area amenities, which can support steady rental interest.
Overall, the property suits an investor seeking a centrally located, easy-to-manage flat with immediate rental or refurbishment potential, or a cash buyer wanting a compact city home with outdoor space. Be clear on lease and ownership costs before committing.
