Summary - 55 INDEPENDENT PLACE LONDON E8 2HE
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Lofty living with parking and private communal garden, moments from Dalston stations.
Approximately 1,374 sq ft — unusually large two-bedroom apartment
A spacious two-bedroom converted warehouse apartment in Independent Place III, set within a gated former Victorian printworks. The upside-down layout places lofty reception spaces on the upper level beneath vaulted beams and large warehouse windows, while two secluded bedrooms sit at ground-floor level. At about 1,374 sq ft, the flat feels much larger than typical two-bed homes and benefits from a thoughtful, recently completed renovation with bespoke joinery and a new staircase.
Well-appointed fixtures include a U-shaped kitchen with integrated Miele and AEG appliances, built-in wardrobes, a mezzanine adaptable as an office or guest sleep space, and modern bathroom finishes. Practical features include double-glazed windows, an electric Velux skylight, integrated speakers and dimmable lighting, allocated off-street parking in a gated compound, secure cycle storage and access to a private communal garden and small front garden with automatic watering.
The property offers long-term security with a share of freehold and approximately 973 years remaining on the lease. It sits within easy walking distance of Hackney Downs, Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction stations and close to numerous cafés, restaurants and parks, making it appealing to buyers seeking urban convenience and character. Council tax is described as affordable and service charges run around £2,236 per year.
Important considerations: the area records higher crime levels and is noted as having local deprivation despite its strong transport links and highly qualified local workforce. Buyers should weigh the immediate benefits of the size, finish and parking against local safety statistics and the inner-city setting.
