Set on the twelfth floor, this chain-free one-bedroom flat offers compact city living with two private balconies and wide London views. The reception room and separate kitchen both open onto balconies, giving flexible indoor-outdoor options and excellent natural light across the day. Ample built-in storage and an included ground-floor store room help maximise the 416 sq ft layout.
The building dates from the 1950s–60s and the apartment has mid-century features and double glazing; some cosmetic updating may be needed to suit modern tastes. The property is leasehold with 89 years remaining, a nominal £9 ground rent and an average service charge of £1,243 — important costs to factor into affordability calculations.
Location is a strong practical selling point: quiet, tree-lined Cazenove Road is a short walk from Stoke Newington Church Street’s cafés, shops and restaurants, and close to Clissold Park, Abney Park and regular Overground services. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, making the flat suitable for remote working.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable entry into N16 or an investor looking for a compact rental near parks and transport. Be aware the wider area records higher crime levels and the building’s age means future maintenance or modernisation may be required.
