This newly finished one-bedroom apartment in Dalston offers a compact, well-specified home for a first-time buyer seeking to get on the property ladder. Positioned on an upper floor of a small modern block, the flat measures about 527 sq ft and includes an open-plan living area, fitted Symphony ‘Linear’ kitchen with integrated appliances, a utility cupboard with a washer‑dryer, and a private balcony or terrace.
The specification is practical and low-maintenance: Karndean flooring throughout, Cormar bedroom carpet, Saloni tiling in the bathroom and a thermostatic shower. Built-in bedroom storage keeps the layout uncluttered and move-in ready. Shared ownership lets you buy a 25–75% share to match your deposit and monthly budget, reducing the initial cost barrier compared with buying outright.
Be clear about the trade-offs. The home is offered as shared ownership, so a monthly fee for the unsold share and a service charge are payable in addition to mortgage costs. The local area is described as deprived with relatively high crime levels, and broadband speeds are average—factors to consider for commuting, working from home or long-term investment.
For buyers prioritising location and specification over a large footprint, this apartment is well placed: Dalston is between Shoreditch and Stoke Newington with Dalston Kingsland station about 400m away and plentiful local amenities. Only four new homes are available in this block, so it may suit someone ready to move quickly onto a realistic, lower‑entry cost route to ownership.
