Light, well-presented one-bedroom flat in a popular Stoke Newington / Newington Green pocket, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-move-in home. The open-plan reception/diner with large double-glazed windows and laminate wood flooring creates an airy social space, while a sizable bedroom and fitted bathroom complete the practical layout across 501 sq ft.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and benefits from a large communal garden, gas central heating and double glazing installed after 2002. The property is chain free and sold leasehold with 92 years remaining, offering straightforward conveyancing for a purchaser wanting a swift move or buy-to-let entry.
Notable running costs include an annual service charge of about £1,720 and a small ground rent of £12 per year. The building’s solid brick walls were constructed without modern cavity insulation (assumed), which may mean higher heating costs or future insulation work if improved thermal performance is desired. Council tax is low (Band B in Hackney), and local transport, broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Nearby primary and secondary schools include several good and outstanding-rated options, and the street is minutes from green spaces, shops and cafés. Overall this flat offers a comfortable, well-located base with clear potential for cosmetic updating and good rental appeal, but buyers should factor in lease length and communal charges when assessing long-term value.
