Set over the upper floors of a Victorian terrace, this 2-bedroom split-level conversion offers 713 sq ft of comfortable living in Lower Clapton. High ceilings, a front bay window and a large reception room bring classic period character and plenty of natural light. The layout suits a first-time buyer seeking space to live and work from home, or a landlord targeting strong local rental demand.
Practical benefits include a fitted kitchen, bathroom, double glazing (post-2002) and a Share of Freehold with no onward chain. The flat is a short walk from Hackney Central Overground, Mare Street’s shops and cafés, Millfields Park and the River Lea — convenient for commuting, leisure and everyday amenities.
Buyers should note material considerations: the lease has about 82 years remaining and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may mean future costs for insulation or a lease extension. The local area rates as deprived with average crime levels — factors to weigh alongside the property’s transport links and nearby good schools.
