This bright three-bedroom apartment on Upper Clapton Road offers nearly 907 sq ft of contemporary living across a single level. The open-plan reception and modern fitted kitchen flow onto a private balcony, creating a sociable, light-filled heart of the home. The principal bedroom has an en-suite; a second large bathroom serves the other bedrooms.
Practical comforts include underfloor heating throughout, allocated bike storage and the remaining NHBC warranty. The property sits on the second floor of a managed development with a resident-controlled management agency and a long lease (about 244 years), which is attractive for buyers looking for tenure security.
Costs and location are important to note: the service charge is above average at approximately £365 pcm (building insurance included) and council tax is above average; ground rent is £450 pa. Heating runs via a community scheme. The wider local area is lively and inner-city, with good transport links via Clapton Overground and many cafés, parks and amenities nearby.
This apartment suits first-time buyers or small families seeking a ready-made, modern home in Hackney with strong commute links. It will also appeal to investors wanting a well-presented leasehold flat with long lease length. Buyers seeking a quiet, rural feel or very low running costs should note the inner-city setting, higher service charges and local deprivation/crime statistics.
