The reception room provides space for dining and relaxing, while a separate fitted kitchen and shower room complete the layout. Its period features—tall sash windows and high ceilings—bring character throughout the home.
The flat is chain-free and sold as a share of freehold, making it straightforward to acquire. Excellent transport links via Hackney Central and Hackney Downs Overground, plus plentiful local cafes, shops and green spaces, place everyday life and leisure within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home working or streaming needs.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the overall size is small (574 sq ft) and parts of the upper floor have reduced headroom below 1.5m. The building’s listed status may limit alterations and could complicate refurbishment. The area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, factors to weigh for families and those seeking quieter streets.
Service charges are modestly indicated (around £1,200 average); council tax is affordable. This apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a characterful, well-connected city home with rental potential, provided they accept the listed restrictions and compact layout.
