Presented as a spacious two-bedroom penthouse duplex, this 1,114 sq ft apartment combines converted industrial character with contemporary finishes. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and a private terrace provide excellent natural light and views toward the Olympic Stadium. The open-plan kitchen/living area, underfloor heating and quality fittings make the flat move-in ready.
Practical benefits include two bathrooms (one en suite), built-in storage in both bedrooms, concierge service and two lifts. The lease is long (987 years) and the property is chain-free, which supports a straightforward purchase or let. Transport and local amenities are strong — Hackney Central, Victoria Park and Broadway Market are all nearby.
Buyers should note material negatives: the service charge is above average at £5,631 per year and ground rent is £300. The local area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may affect resale and letting prospects. The property is leasehold and sited in a busy inner-city environment, so immediate surroundings are urban rather than leafy.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers seeking a characterful, ready-to-move-in central London home or a high-end rental asset. It offers distinctive loft-style living and strong connectivity, but assess communal costs and local area factors against personal needs or investment targets.
