Split-level, newly renovated penthouse with private roof terrace near Victoria Park.
Grade II listed former school conversion with character features
Set within a Grade II listed former school conversion, this split-level penthouse blends original character with contemporary finishes. The apartment has been newly renovated and offers an open-plan living/kitchen, a principal bedroom with an en-suite, a versatile second room and a private roof terrace with rooftop views — good for entertaining or home working. At about 825 sq ft, the layout feels generous for two bedrooms in this part of Hackney.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with approximately 974 years remaining and a service charge of about £2,950 pa. The EPC rating is E and the building’s listed status may restrict alterations and complicate some renovation works. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; the building is solid brick (likely uninsulated) so additional insulation works could be needed to improve efficiency.
Location is a key strength — under 0.3 miles to Well Street Common and close to Victoria Park, with Homerton Overground within a five-minute walk and a wide range of shops and cafés nearby. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, supporting remote work and streaming. Note the local area records higher crime and relative deprivation metrics; buyers should consider local safety measures and insurance implications.
This property will suit buyers who value character, outdoor space and modern interiors within a vibrant inner-city neighbourhood, and who accept constraints from listed status and current energy performance. It also presents potential to improve efficiency and personalise within permitted limits, rather than a blank‑canvas renovation.
