Set within a striking former pub, this two-bedroom flat offers an unusually spacious and characterful home across two floors. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room benefits from timber floors, plantation shutters and large windows that flood the space with light. Two double bedrooms plus a separate study provide flexible space for family life or home working.
Practical aspects are clear: the flat extends to around 827 sq ft and retains period features such as exposed brick and high ceilings on upper floors. It sits moments from Clapton Station and within walking distance of Millfields Park and Hackney Downs, making daily commutes and weekend green space easily accessible. Local cafés, restaurants and amenities are all close by.
Buyers should note material lease and running costs: the property is leasehold with about 82 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £2,300pa and a ground rent of £600pa. There is no private outdoor space and the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and area deprivation indices, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful conversion that will suit buyers wanting a spacious central Hackney home or an investor seeking strong rental demand near excellent transport and local amenities. The layout gives immediate usability, but the lease length and running costs are important factors to consider before proceeding.
