Characterful one-bed with double-height space, share of freehold and no chain..
Split-level one-bedroom with mezzanine bedroom and double-height ceiling
Set within an elegant Victorian school conversion on Tottenham Road, this split-level one-bedroom apartment makes the most of striking double-height ceilings and generous windows to create a bright, airy home. The mezzanine bedroom provides separation from the living space, while an open-plan ground floor gives a contemporary feel in a historic building.
Practical details suit buyers wanting a straightforward purchase: share of freehold tenure, no onward chain, mains gas boiler heating and an EPC band C. The 567 sq ft layout feels larger than typical one-beds thanks to the vertical space, and nearby Dalston and De Beauvoir amenities, plus excellent transport links, add everyday convenience.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the area records higher crime and relative deprivation compared with central London neighbourhoods, and the building’s original solid-brick fabric suggests limited insulation (pre-1900 construction). Annual service charge is £1,700. These factors affect running costs, comfort and resale; sensible buyers may want to budget for improved insulation or soundproofing works.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking characterful, well-located accommodation with immediate occupancy potential. It’s a compact, stylish home with conversion character that rewards modest further investment to enhance thermal performance and long-term value.
