This penthouse occupies half the top floor of Wyles House, offering 1,400 sq ft of spacious lateral living with a dramatic curved wall of glazing and a wraparound roof terrace. The open-plan reception, bespoke kitchen island and three double bedrooms create a comfortable, versatile home for family life and entertaining. Private lift access and concierge add convenience and security.
Set within the landscaped churchyard of the Grade II listed St John at Hackney, the apartment enjoys uncommon seclusion in the heart of Hackney Central. Excellent local schools, Hackney Central Overground nearby and easy access to Broadway Market, London Fields and Columbia Road make this a well-connected family location with strong cultural appeal.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building’s listed status will cause planning and alteration complications, and the above-average service charge (£7,500pa) plus an average ground rent (£350pa) increase running costs. The area records very high crime levels—security arrangements and personal reassurance should be considered.
Leasehold details are strong for the tenure: 248 years remaining. The apartment’s size, private terrace and high-spec fittings present genuine family living potential, but purchasers should budget for higher service costs and factor in listed-building constraints when planning any changes.
