This recently renovated first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a move-in ready option for buyers seeking central Hackney living. At around 662 sq ft the layout provides a generous reception, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom plus useful built-in storage. Chain-free sale and fast broadband make it practical for immediate occupation or rental.
Location is a key strength: moments from Dalston Kingsland and within a short walk of Rectory Road station, the flat benefits from excellent transport links, abundant cafés, restaurants and green spaces such as Hackney Downs and London Fields. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, adding appeal for buyers planning longer-term stays.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the property is leasehold with approximately 90 years remaining, the block dates from the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls likely uninsulated, and there is no private garden or off-street parking. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels and ranks as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental perceptions.
Overall this is a practical, freshly upgraded two-bedroom in a lively inner-city location. It suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a ready-to-live-in flat with immediate access to excellent transport and central Hackney amenities, though lease length and local socio-economic factors are important considerations.
