Bright ground-floor flat with generous eat-in kitchen
This one-bedroom ground-floor flat offers a bright, spacious layout in a purpose-built block around communal gardens. The property features a generous eat-in kitchen, separate reception room, study area and an external storage cupboard — practical space for everyday living. Resident off-street parking and a security entry-phone add convenience and peace of mind.
Presented in tidy condition but with mid-century dated décor, the flat will suit buyers who want a move-in home with scope to personalise. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has solid brick walls with no added cavity insulation; buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating may be desired. Double glazing is installed but predates 2002.
Practical points: the property is leasehold with 98 years remaining and is offered chain free. Local amenities, lively Chatsworth Road and Mare Street, and Homerton BR station are within easy reach, providing straightforward access to the City and West End. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, which is useful for young families.
Be frank about the neighbourhood: this part of Hackney is marked by high crime statistics and significant area deprivation, which may concern some buyers or affect rental demand. For first-time buyers or investors comfortable with the local market, the layout, parking and storage present clear practical advantages and renovation upside.
