A handsome mid-terrace home offering substantial living space across three floors and a full-width basement. The property spans circa 1,550 sq ft, with two reception rooms, a large kitchen and utility, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a private rear garden and direct basement access to the outside. Original Victorian features include high ceilings, cornicing, sash bay window and timber floors, giving immediate period character.
Sold chain-free on freehold tenure, this house suits a growing family or buyers seeking an adaptable home with work-from-home potential in the basement. It is a short walk to Chatsworth Road’s shops and eateries, and to Homerton and Hackney Central stations, with green space at Hackney Downs and Hackney Marshes nearby.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is in an area with very high crime and marked deprivation, external walls are solid brick (likely uninsulated) and glazing/install dates are unknown. The basement, while useful for extra living or office space, will need careful consideration for natural light, ventilation and mechanical ventilation if used as principal living space. Minor to medium refurbishment would allow significant value uplift.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful Victorian terrace with clear scope to modernise, extend or reconfigure internally. It will appeal to owner-occupiers wanting a large central Hackney home or investors prepared to invest in upgrade works, but purchasers should budget for retrofit and security/insulation improvements.
