Set on a rare corner plot beside the River Lea, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment combines generous living space with an unusually large private garden and direct riverside views. The property benefits from a private entrance, extended 179-year lease, separate utility room accessed from the garden, and off-street parking — conveniences often missing at this price in Hackney.
The open-plan reception faces a triple-bay window framing uninterrupted views over the River Lea and Walthamstow Marshes, bringing abundant daylight into the living and dining zones. The kitchen has been recently updated and includes a gas hob; a separate utility room in the garden gives extra storage and laundry space. Two double bedrooms offer fitted storage and calm outlooks, with the master particularly peaceful and unoverlooked.
Practical points to note: the building dates from the post‑war period and has solid brick walls with no known added insulation, and the local broadband speeds are reported slow — both factors to consider for heating costs and connectivity. Service charges are low and there is no ground rent, and the area is convenient for Clapton Overground (approx. 0.6 miles) and local schools and green space.
This home will suit families seeking outdoor space and riverside tranquillity close to Central London, or buyers wanting a well‑appointed two‑bedroom with long lease and strong rental appeal. It offers immediate liveability with scope to personalise, while being one of the few Hackney apartments with such expansive private outside space.
