Light-filled, practical two-bedroom apartment on the sixth floor of Atkins Square, offering open-plan living with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony with City views. The layout suits a couple or sharers wanting separate bedrooms and an additional bathroom; communal amenities include a concierge, residents’ gym, roof garden and secure bike storage.
The flat is chain-free with a long lease (237 years) and a sensible annual service charge (£2,030) and ground rent (£125). Travel is straightforward: Hackney Downs is about 150m away and Hackney Central within a short walk. Nearby green spaces (Hackney Downs, London Fields) and a rich local food and leisure scene add everyday convenience and lifestyle appeal.
Be realistic about running costs and context. The block was built in the late 1970s–early 1980s using system-built methods and likely has partial insulation; this may mean higher heating demand than newer builds. Broadband is average, and the local area records higher crime and significant deprivation indices — important for buyers to consider when assessing suitability and insurance or security needs.
Overall, this is a well-located, ready-to-move-into two-bedroom apartment that works well for first-time buyers or investors seeking a mid-range London flat with private outdoor space and building amenities. Confirm all service charge details, building construction information and local safety data during due diligence.
