Set within a converted Victorian school, this 2-bedroom apartment offers dramatic double-height ceilings and over 850 sqft of flexible living space. A remote-opening glass roof and large arched windows flood the open-plan reception with natural light, while an internal mezzanine provides a versatile second sleeping or workspace.
The building retains industrial character—exposed brickwork, steel beams and the original entrance hall—giving the home a distinctive loft-like feel. Practical features include mains gas boiler heating, solid brick walls with internal insulation and access to a communal courtyard. Excellent transport links at Hackney Downs and Hackney Central place the City and West End within easy reach.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold and sold chain free; buyers should check lease length, ground rent and service charges. The area records higher crime levels and significant local deprivation, which may affect suitability for some buyers and rental prospects. There is one bathroom and multi-story layout which may not suit all mobility needs.
This apartment will suit a buyer looking for a character-filled city home with strong transport links and natural light, or a purchaser prepared to update and personalise a distinctive urban property. Verify all tenure and local information before proceeding.
