This third-floor one-bedroom flat in Hemsworth Court offers a compact 473 sq ft layout well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a central Hoxton location. The open-plan living/dining room opens onto a small private balcony with views over communal green space, bringing natural light into principal rooms.
The accommodation is practical and straightforward: a double bedroom, separate fitted kitchen and a bathroom. The building has double glazing installed before 2002, mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for professionals working from home.
Important facts: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining and an average annual service charge of £1,668. The surrounding area has above-average crime statistics and is classified as very deprived, which are material considerations for both owner-occupiers and investors. The property appears in fair condition and would likely benefit from light modernisation to maximise value.
On the positive side, the Hoxton location places transport, shops, cafes and nightlife within easy reach, with good connections to the City and Shoreditch. For a buyer seeking a centrally located, reasonably priced one-bedroom in N1, this flat offers straightforward accommodation and rental potential, provided you factor in lease length, service costs and local area characteristics.
