A compact, characterful one-bedroom flat set on the third floor of a gated Victorian mews overlooking a traffic-free cobbled courtyard. The apartment combines original period features — sash windows, cast-iron fireplace and stripped wooden floors — with a modern integrated kitchen and contemporary bathroom. South-facing windows bring good natural light into the open-plan reception and bedroom.
The property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-maintenance home close to Stoke Newington Church Street and Stoke Newington Overground station. Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for hybrid working.
Notable considerations: the flat is small at 439 sq ft and offered leasehold with 85 years remaining; service charges average £1,700 and ground rent is £100. The building dates from 1880 and appears to have solid brick walls with no cavity insulation noted, so heating costs could be higher than in newer stock. The local area has higher crime and deprivation indicators, although the immediate gated mews is peaceful and traffic-free.
