A substantial five‑bedroom Victorian terrace on Brenthouse Road offers a rare canvas in Hackney for a family or developer ready to modernise. The house retains period features — bay windows, high ceilings and cornicing — and provides generous internal proportions across three storeys plus attic. It is offered freehold and sits within easy reach of London Fields, Victoria Park and Broadway Market.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: dated kitchen and sanitary fittings, cluttered lived‑in rooms, and general refurbishment are all evident. There is only one bathroom for five bedrooms, so updating services and reconfiguring layouts will be necessary to create a modern family home or maximise rental income. Buyers should budget for comprehensive works rather than cosmetic tweaks.
Location is a clear strength. Hackney’s amenities, schools (including nearby outstanding primaries), and frequent rail and bus links to the City and West End make this a convenient urban base. Broadband and mobile signal are strong. The rear garden is small but private, typical for the street, and the plot is compact.
Note the neighbourhood context: crime levels are above average and the wider area records higher deprivation indices. These factors affect resale/rental positioning and should be weighed against the area’s strong cultural and lifestyle appeal. For investors or committed families, the property offers real scope to add value through refurbishment and reconfiguration.
