Summary - FLAT C, KING EDWARD MANSIONS, 17-19 MARE STREET E8 4RS
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Sunny period flat close to parks, markets and transport links.
Share of freehold; long lease (approx. 108 years)
Set within a handsome Georgian mansion block on Mare Street, this well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment combines period character with a practical central Hackney address. The south-facing reception room has high ceilings, a feature fireplace and large sash windows that flood the space with natural light. A separate, characterful kitchen and a generously sized double bedroom complete the internal layout.
The property is offered chain free with a long lease (approx. 108 years) and a share of the freehold, a genuine ownership advantage for owner-occupiers. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and transport links are excellent via nearby Overground stations and bus routes. Victoria Park, London Fields and Broadway Market are all within easy walking distance, putting cafes, shops and green space on your doorstep.
Practical considerations are straightforward and stated clearly: heating is via electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which can mean higher running costs and cooler rooms in winter. There is no private outdoor space and the building sits above mixed commercial uses at street level. The immediate area records a high crime rate and sits within a deprived ward — factors to weigh alongside the apartment’s benefits.
For a first-time buyer this flat offers a characterful, well-located entry into the Hackney market with long lease security and share-of-freehold control. It suits someone who values period features and proximity to parks and market culture, and who is comfortable managing the modest energy and security trade-offs that come with a Victorian mansion block in a busy urban setting.
