This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Chatsworth Court offers bright, compact living with a useful south-facing balcony. At about 522 sq ft the layout is efficient: reception room, separate modern kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Large windows and the balcony give good natural light and elevated views over treetops and nearby period terraces.
Set moments from Millfields Park and Clapton’s cafés and market, the flat suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a well-connected Inner East London address. Clapton and Hackney Downs stations, buses and nearby Hackney Central and Dalston make commuting straightforward. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding.
Practical points are clear and factual: the property is leasehold (around 90 years remaining), chain free, with average communal service charges (£1,800 pa) and a small ground rent (£150 pa). The apartment is small by modern standards and the balcony is long rather than deep — useful for container planting or a small seating area but not a full garden.
The building is a period red-brick conversion with solid brick walls and double glazing (install date unknown). There is scope to add value through internal modernisation and better use of the balcony space, but note potential costs for longer-term measures such as insulation or major works that may affect communal charges in future.
