This extremely spacious two-bedroom apartment (approx. 1,111 sq ft) occupies a generous floorplate with large windows and a private entrance, ideal for families wanting room to spread out. The open-plan living and dining area leads to a waterfront balcony with direct views over Victoria Park and the Hertford Union Canal — excellent for weekend strolls and outdoor play. The large kitchen, complete with an island and a separate utility room, supports family cooking and storage needs.
Both bedrooms are doubles and well-proportioned; the layout suits a couple with children, a home office, or flexible guest accommodation. Built in the mid-2000s with double glazing and gas central heating, the flat presents as modern and well maintained. Broadband speeds are average, while mobile signal is excellent, useful for working from home.
Be upfront about the practical points: the property is leasehold with 102 years remaining, an annual service charge around £1,853 and ground rent £200. Council tax sits at the higher band (Band F), and the immediate area records high crime levels and marked deprivation — factors to weigh when considering family safety and running costs.
For buyers prioritising space, park and canal access, and a contemporary layout within easy reach of Hackney Village, this flat offers genuine lifestyle benefits. Investors or owner-occupiers should budget for service costs and factor local socio-economic indicators into long-term plans.
