This substantial six-bedroom Victorian terraced house spreads across four floors and a cellar, offering flexible living space for a growing family or sharers. The double reception room and a kitchen with space to dine open onto a large private garden—rare for central Hackney—providing room for outdoor living and entertaining. The property is a practical freehold purchase with mains gas central heating and double glazing already installed.
Many rooms retain period character such as high sash windows and generous ceiling heights, but much of the interior shows dated fixtures and carpets with clear potential for a sympathetic refurbishment. The attic bedroom has a sloped, low ceiling limiting usable space; some rooms show signs that minor damp repairs and updating will be needed. The solid brick walls appear uninsulated (as built), so buyers should budget for thermal improvements if modern energy performance is desired.
The house sits moments from Lower Clapton Road shops, cafés and transport links, with Hackney Downs nearby for open green space. Strong local schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding options close by, making this practical for families. The area is lively and well-served but characterised by higher deprivation metrics and average crime levels, so buyers should weigh community advantages against local social challenges.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful home with clear scope to add value through updating and insulation work. It will suit buyers wanting substantial family accommodation in Hackney who are prepared to invest in modernisation to unlock the property’s full potential.
