This top-floor two-bedroom flat on George Downing Estate offers practical space and open views across London from two balconies. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a modern compact kitchen, a living room with balcony access and a contemporary bathroom plus separate WC — ready to occupy without major cosmetic work.
The property sits within easy walking distance of Stoke Newington station and local amenities, including Abney Park and a wide range of shops, cafes and places of worship. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and streaming. Nearby schools include a mix of state and independent options.
Important considerations: the flat is leasehold with about 100 years remaining and lies in an area with higher crime rates and economic deprivation — factors to weigh for long-term value and insurance costs. The building is a mid-20th-century system-built construction with assumed no cavity insulation; some secondary glazing or insulation work may be advisable to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
Overall this property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, low-entry flat with outside space and good transport links. It offers immediate habitability and clear potential for energy and cosmetic improvements to add value.
