Bright, well-proportioned and quietly tucked away, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Dalston Lane suits a first-time buyer seeking space and outdoor access in Hackney. The apartment arrives in contemporary condition with large windows, wood flooring and two private outdoor areas — a rare find at this size in the area. Residents also benefit from concierge and gym facilities, plus easy Overground links at Hackney Downs and Hackney Central for a straightforward commute across London.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease of 112 years, an annual service charge around £2,496 and a ground rent of £350. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme, which provides reliable warmth but can limit individual boiler control and potential savings from independent systems. The property’s 631 sq ft footprint gives a generous living/dining/kitchen and a good-sized bedroom with direct outdoor access.
Location delivers both amenities and trade-offs. You’re a short walk from green spaces such as Hackney Downs and London Fields, independent cafés, and weekend markets — strong lifestyle draws for many buyers. At the same time the immediate area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect future resale values and should be considered alongside the wider local regeneration plans.
Overall this is a straightforward, move-in-ready urban apartment with excellent transport links, private outdoor space and building amenities. It will suit a first-time buyer wanting a well-equipped base in East London or an investor looking for a lettable one-bed in a popular rental patch, provided the area’s social challenges are acceptable.
