Set on the first floor of a well-maintained purpose-built block on a quiet cul-de-sac, this light one-bedroom apartment offers around 560 sqft of contemporary living. The open-plan kitchen/living room has wood flooring, integrated appliances and large floor-to-ceiling windows that feed natural light onto the private balcony. Triple-glazed windows and a video entry system add modern convenience while the long lease (approx. 246 years) gives security for buyers.
This property is aimed at first-time buyers or professionals seeking a low-maintenance London base near Hackney Central. The layout is straightforward and move-in ready, with a fully tiled bathroom and a bedroom that benefits from generous daylight. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and local amenities, markets and green space are within easy walking distance.
Be clear about the practicalities: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, and the service charge averages £1,302. The wider area has a very high crime statistic and levels of deprivation are high, which may concern some buyers and could influence insurance or resale considerations.
Overall, this is a modern, well-presented apartment with long lease security and useful extras (triple glazing, video entry), suited to a buyer prioritising location, convenience and a compact, contemporary home rather than extensive living space or low-crime suburbia.
