Summary - 331 FLAT B MARE STREET LONDON E8 1HY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Contemporary two-bedroom flat ideal for commuters seeking central Hackney living.
Bright open-plan reception and fully integrated kitchen
A bright, well-presented two-bedroom apartment set above Mare Street’s vibrant high street, moments from Hackney Central and its fast rail links. The open-plan reception and fully integrated kitchen create a sociable living space, complemented by solid oak floors and a Juliet balcony that brings in street-facing light. At around 701 sq ft the flat feels roomy for an inner‑city home and suits first-time buyers seeking commuter convenience and contemporary finishes.
Practical details support straightforward ownership: a long lease (107 years remaining), mains gas central heating, double glazing, and modern construction (c.2007–2011). The property sits within a mixed-use Victorian-style building with retail at ground level and residential above — no private garden or off-street parking is apparent, so it’s best suited to city dwellers who rely on public transport or cycling.
Buyers should note recurring costs and local context: an average service charge of £3,010 per year and a small ground rent of £150. The immediate area experiences very high crime rates and is recorded as very deprived, with a busy high-street atmosphere and limited privacy. These factors may affect suitability for families seeking quieter streets, though the location remains desirable for commuters and investors attracted to Hackney’s amenities and transport links.
Overall this apartment offers a contemporary, low‑maintenance base for city living — strong on transport, light and modern inside, but urban and bustling outside. It presents clear value for first-time buyers who prioritise location and finish, and for investors seeking a well-located rental in Hackney, provided they accept the high-street setting and the documented service costs.
