Chain-free one-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor, offered in tidy, move-in condition. The west-facing reception room benefits from a large sash-style window and good natural light, creating a bright living/dining space for a single household or couple. The layout includes a separate kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and separate W/C.
Located moments from Hackney Downs Park and close to Hackney Downs and Hackney Central stations, the flat suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking central E5 location and solid rental demand. Local cafés, Chatsworth Road amenities and nearby green space add everyday convenience and lifestyle appeal.
Practical points: the property is leasehold with about 94 years remaining, an average service charge around £1,402 pa and a nominal ground rent. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and walls are likely solid brick with no confirmed insulation; heating is via mains gas boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
Be realistic about context: the wider area has high crime statistics and high deprivation indices, which can affect resale or rental perceptions. Internal space is small (approximately 430 sq ft) and there is no confirmed external private garden or balcony. These factors are important for buyers seeking long-term space or tranquillity.
