This well-lit one-bedroom flat on the 2nd floor of a secure purpose-built block offers bright, practical accommodation in Dalston. The reception room benefits from good natural light and the separate kitchen gives everyday convenience.

Location is a clear strength: moments from shops and cafes on Kingsland Road and close to Dalston Junction station for quick links across London. Local amenities include gyms, supermarkets, eateries and community facilities, and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the flat is leasehold with 88 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,800 per year. The building dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick walls (no known insulation) and double glazing of unknown install date. The wider area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived, which may concern some buyers.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located one-bed with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential. It requires standard updating rather than full refurbishment, and its practical layout offers straightforward scope to personalise and improve value over time.
