Set within a boutique modern block on Balls Pond Road, this one-bedroom flat occupies a first-floor position and offers a bright, practical 546 sq ft layout ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. Large windows flood the reception with daylight and the separate modern kitchen and well-proportioned bathroom complete a straightforward, low-maintenance home. The 165-year lease provides long-term security.
Location is the property’s strength: Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction Overground stations are about 0.5 mile away, with easy bus links into Shoreditch, Islington and the City. Local life centres on Kingsland High Street, Broadway Market and nearby London Fields, delivering cafes, restaurants, shops and weekly markets within easy reach.
Buyers should note practical points plainly: the block uses electric ceiling heating and standalone electric heating, which can be less cost-efficient than gas; the service charge averages £2,183 per year; and the surrounding area records higher crime and wider area deprivation indicators. Broadband speeds are average, mobile signal is excellent, and the property has no flood risk.
Overall this is a contemporary, low-upkeep city flat that suits a buyer seeking an accessible London base with strong local amenity and transport links, or an investor seeking straightforward lettable accommodation. The property’s modest running costs (affordable council tax) and long lease make it an easy-to-manage purchase, provided buyers are comfortable with electric heating and the local neighbourhood profile.
