Summary - ACADEMY APARTMENTS FLAT 49 INSTITUTE PLACE LONDON E8 1JZ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Light-filled, characterful two-bedroom loft with mezzanine and glass roof, chain-free.
Chain-free two-bedroom loft in Victorian school conversion
Set within a converted Victorian school, this chain-free two-bedroom loft offers dramatic double-height ceilings, a remote-opening glass roof and over 850 sqft of flexible living. Exposed brickwork, steel beams and original features give strong character, while the mezzanine creates useful extra space for a study or occasional guest room.
Practical details: the flat is leasehold with 97 years remaining, annual service charge £5,153 and ground rent £360. Heating is mains gas to a boiler and radiators. The property is well located for Hackney Downs and Hackney Central links, giving straightforward access to the City and West End.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting a distinctive city home with room to grow and entertaining space. Be aware of material drawbacks: the estate sits in a high-crime, very deprived local area and running costs are above average because of the service charge. The solid brick construction has internal insulation; check glazing and general maintenance when viewing.
Overall, this is a striking, light-filled conversion with strong period character and loft-style proportions—good potential for a buyers who value space and style in Dalston, and who are comfortable managing higher service charges and local area considerations.
