Summary - Lower Clapton Road, Clapton, London, E5 E5 8EQ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Large two-bedroom Grade II listed flat with huge sash windows and close transport links.
Chain-free with an exceptionally long 970-year lease
Set within a striking Grade II listed detached house on Lower Clapton Road, this bright two-bedroom first-floor flat offers generous, characterful living across 947 sq ft. Huge sash windows and high ceilings create an airy, light-filled living and entertaining space, with a modern kitchen/diner and two true double bedrooms — a rare size for the area. Chain-free sale and an exceptionally long lease (970 years) add buying certainty.
The apartment will suit buyers who appreciate period detail: original architectural features and a grand feel throughout. Practical benefits include secondary glazing, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home-working and everyday life. Local amenities are strong: Chatsworth Road, Mare Street and nearby transport links place shops, cafés, schools and leisure close at hand.
Buyers should be aware of important constraints. The Grade II listing brings restrictions that will complicate alterations and may increase maintenance costs; any changes require consent. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so heating bills and retrofit costs could be higher than modern stock. The immediate area records higher crime and greater deprivation than average, which may influence resale and rental demand.
This spacious, well-presented flat is best for first-time buyers or small families seeking character and space in an inner-city location, or investors targeting strong rental demand near good schools and transport. Accept the listing-related limitations and potential retrofit work, and you’ll have a handsome, long-lease home with excellent scope to enjoy or let out in Clapton.
