A bright Victorian garden flat ideal for first-time buyers seeking period character and outside space without stepping far from Clapton’s amenities. The raised ground layout gives high ceilings, original cornicing and a decorative fireplace that combine with hardwood floors to create an elegant living area.
The south-facing sitting room and dual-aspect kitchen bring generous natural light; the kitchen is large enough for dining and opens directly onto a private 30 ft garden with a decked seating area. Bespoke floor-to-ceiling wardrobes in the double bedroom provide substantial storage in a compact home.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 169 years remaining and measures about 533 sq ft. It sits under ten minutes’ walk from Clapton Overground and close to green spaces such as Millfields and Springfield Park — useful for commuting and weekend relaxation.
Buyers should note some material points: the flat is leasehold, half the garden is rented from the freeholder for £500 per year, and the local area records higher crime and significant deprivation. These factors affect running costs, resale considerations and should be weighed against the home’s strong transport links and character features.
