Large character flat with two private gardens and long lease near excellent schools..
Approx. 897 sqft two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat
Set within a converted, characterful former pub on a tree-lined road, this large two-bedroom flat (approx. 897 sqft) offers bright, contemporary living space and two private garden areas. The ground-floor kitchen/dining benefits from east-facing light and a mezzanine balcony, while the lower-level living room impresses with double-height ceilings and direct garden access. The master bedroom includes an en-suite and its own patio garden — ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
Practical features include a long lease (112 years), double glazing, mains gas central heating and two bathrooms, making the home suitable for families or professionals. The location is a strong draw: close to Homerton Overground, frequent buses to Shoreditch and Stratford, and in catchments for several highly rated primary and secondary schools, including an Outstanding-rated primary.
Buyers should note the material factors clearly: this is a leasehold apartment with an average service charge of £3,200 and ground rent around £300 per year. The building dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation — there may be energy-efficiency work to consider. The surrounding neighbourhood experiences higher crime levels and is classed as deprived, which may influence some buyers’ choices despite the excellent local transport and amenities.
Overall, the property offers generous, characterful accommodation with useful garden spaces and strong schooling and transport links. It will suit buyers seeking a distinctive home with scope for targeted improvements, or investors looking for a well-located flat with long lease security.
