Set on the first floor of the well-established Somerford Grove Estate, this two-bedroom flat offers clear scope to add value through refurbishment. The apartment features a practical, traditional layout, two double bedrooms, and a west-facing balcony that captures afternoon and evening sun. Its 669 sq ft footprint is comfortable for a couple or small family and lends itself to straightforward modernization.
Transport and local amenities are strong selling points. Dalston Kingsland and Junction Stations, Rectory Road station and multiple bus routes provide quick links to Central London. Stoke Newington’s cafés, boutiques and green spaces such as Clissold Park are within walking distance, making this a convenient urban base.
Important practical details: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining and a small ground rent of £100. The flat needs renovation — expect updates to kitchen, bathroom and general decoration; building walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation. Council tax is low, broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent.
This is a sensible choice for a first-time buyer looking to personalise a home or for an investor seeking a lettable, well-located asset. Be mindful of the refurbishment requirement and the sub-90-year lease which may affect longer-term mortgage and resale considerations.
