Bright top-floor one-bedroom flat combining ready-to-move-in condition with an unusually large private roof terrace. Set in a well-kept low-rise ex-local authority block, the apartment offers a generous living room, separate compact kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe and substantial hallway storage — a practical city home for single buyers or couples. The terrace is south-facing and runs the width of the flat, significantly increasing usable living space in good weather and making the property stand out among typical one-bed layouts.
The location is a core strength: moments from Stoke Newington Church Street and the High Street’s cafés, shops and restaurants, with frequent buses to the City and West End and Overground services nearby. Local amenities and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity suit commuting and everyday urban life. Nearby primary schools include William Patten (Outstanding) and several other well-regarded options, which is helpful for buyers considering longer-term plans.
Be clear about the practical points: the flat is leasehold with approximately 89 years remaining and is an ex-local authority property. Crime levels in the area are above average and the wider locality registers higher deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ perceptions. The apartment has double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC in the mid-range (current ~74), so modest energy improvements could raise efficiency and value.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-located one-bedroom with exceptional outdoor space for its size. It will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a lettable flat with strong transport links and a rare private terrace, provided they are comfortable with the lease length and the local area profile.
