Set within a handsome Victorian terrace on one of Clapton’s premier roads, this newly renovated one-bedroom apartment offers bright, well-proportioned living with direct access to a south-facing private courtyard garden. The open-plan living room features a bay window, modern flooring and a practical kitchen area — a comfortable move-in ready home for a first-time buyer seeking local green space and swift Overground links to the City.
Practical details include a long lease (circa 100 years), chain-free sale and recently upgraded bathroom and heating. There is a large storage cupboard and good natural light throughout, making the most of the apartment’s 530 sq ft. Council tax is described as cheap, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and Millfields Park and Clapton Pond are moments away.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is leasehold with ground rent around £450 per year (paid half-yearly), the service charge is not specified and charged "as and when," and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation. The wider area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators — factors to weigh alongside the excellent local amenities and transport.
Overall this is a tidy, low-maintenance city home with period charm and garden access, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking straightforward rental potential close to central London transport links.
