Summary - Flat B, 13 Alvington Crescent E8 2NN
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright one-bedroom with excellent transport links, ideal for first-time buyers.
Newly renovated one-bedroom period conversion, bright open-plan living
This newly renovated first-floor conversion offers simple, comfortable living in a sought-after east London pocket. The open-plan kitchen and reception is bright and well finished, with integrated appliances and wooden floors that create a contemporary, low-maintenance living space. The double bedroom is calm and practical, and the bathroom provides both a bath and a freestanding shower.
Transport is a clear strength: Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction Overground stations are a short walk, giving fast links across London for work and leisure. Nearby parks (London Fields, Hackney Downs, Clissold Park) and a wide range of cafés, bars and independent shops add lifestyle appeal for a first-time buyer.
Important practical points are straightforward: the lease has approximately 124 years remaining, the property is chain free, and running costs look reasonable with a below-average service charge (£900) and a nominal ground rent (£1). EPC is rated C, heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Be aware of material local issues: crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect personal security perceptions and long-term resale in some buyer segments. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, so consider potential energy-efficiency upgrades if desired.
