Bright, characterful and compact, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment in Lower Clapton Road blends Victorian charm with contemporary finishes. High ceilings, original sash windows with stained-glass transoms, a feature fireplace and hardwood floors give the reception room real period appeal, while a separate, well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom keep day-to-day living comfortable.
The flat is presented chain-free and ready to move into, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or couple seeking a stylish city base. Storage is well considered with built-in shelving and fitted wardrobes; transport links and local amenities — cafés, shops and green spaces — are all within easy walking distance, and nearby stations provide fast routes into the City and Central London.
Practical points are clear: the property is a leasehold apartment above street-level premises, with around 182 years remaining on the lease and an average service charge of £1,200 a year. The overall floor area is compact (approximately 408 sq ft) and there appears to be no private outdoor space. Walls are original solid brick with assumed limited insulation and the double glazing dates are unknown, so there may be scope for energy-efficiency upgrades in future.
This apartment suits someone who values period detail and location over generous square footage — ideal for buyers wanting a well-presented, low-hassle London home close to Hackney’s amenities. The clear positives and disclosed service costs make it straightforward to assess as a first home or central pied-à-terre.
