Light-filled two-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor with a private balcony and open outlooks. The layout includes a bright reception room, modern fitted kitchen, bathroom plus separate WC, and two generously sized double bedrooms — a comfortable space for first-time buyers seeking immediate move-in. Located opposite Homerton Station with Hackney Central and Hackney Downs within walking distance, the home offers excellent transport links and close access to Chatsworth Road’s cafés, shops and markets.
Practical details to note: the sale is for cash buyers only, the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining, and the average annual service charge is £2,832 (ground rent £18). The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s with system-built walls and older double glazing; overall condition is described as good with contemporary fixtures but with the typical maintenance considerations of a purpose-built mid-rise block.
Outside the flat, residents benefit from nearby green spaces — Hackney Marshes, Millfields Park, Victoria Park and the River Lea towpath — making outdoor leisure straightforward. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, adding to its appeal for buyers starting a family in East London.
This apartment suits a buyer wanting a well-located, low-maintenance urban home or a buy-to-let purchaser who can complete with cash. Be aware of the local high-crime statistic and communal building costs when assessing affordability and security measures.
