Set over the top two floors of a handsome Victorian building in De Beauvoir, this newly refurbished two-bedroom maisonette combines period character with contemporary finishes. The reception room boasts high Georgian/Edwardian ceilings, large sash windows, a functioning log burner and dark herringbone/parquet floors — a bright, sociable space for entertaining. The shaker-style kitchen/diner features olive units, quartz worktops and a classic Belfast sink, while the tiled bathroom is finished with brass fittings and a striking black-and-white floor.
Practical details are clear: the flat is chain free, measures about 848 sq ft, and sits on an 89-year lease. Service charges are approximately £2,500pa with a ground rent of £150pa; Council Tax sits in Band E. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the property has secondary glazing and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), so buyers should factor potential energy upgrades into longer-term budgets.
Location is a major plus for lifestyle buyers: Upper Street, Dalston and Broadway Market are within walking distance, plus local independent shops, cafes and pubs in De Beauvoir. Transport links include nearby buses on Southgate Road, Essex Road and Haggerston Overground for quick access across London. Note the local area records above-average crime and higher area deprivation indices, which prospective buyers may wish to review in person.
This home will suit first-time buyers or couples seeking a move-in-ready period property with strong local amenities and entertaining space. It also offers short-term stability for purchasers happy with a shorter lease who are prepared to manage service charges and consider lease-extension costs in the medium term.
