Summary - FLAT 23, DOWNHAM WHARF, 28 HERTFORD ROAD N1 5QT
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright, well-connected two-bed flat with balcony ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Two double bedrooms with built-in storage in one room
This fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment on Downham Wharf offers a compact, modern London home with waterside outlooks and a private balcony. Light fills the open-plan living and kitchen area, which looks south toward the City across the canal basin — a strong selling point for buyers seeking a central, characterful spot. The property is offered chain-free and comes with a long lease of approximately 111 years.
The accommodation is efficient: two double bedrooms, built-in storage in one bedroom, and a contemporary bathroom. At 573 sq ft the apartment suits first-time buyers or couples wanting a well-connected base close to Haggerston Overground and multiple bus routes; excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working. Local amenities, parks and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £3,103 and a small ground rent of £100. Heating operates via a community mains-gas scheme, which can limit individual control and timing. The apartment is relatively small and will suit buyers comfortable with compact living or those prepared to reconfigure/open-plan further to maximise space.
Overall, this is a straightforward, move-in-ready option for someone prioritising location, views and transport links over generous internal space. The EPC rating of C and post-2010 construction mean the building is modern and reasonably efficient, but running costs and the service charge should be factored into affordability calculations.
