Set across the top two floors, this 715 sq ft two-bedroom maisonette offers bright, south-facing living and a private balcony ideal for morning sun. The generous reception room and sizeable kitchen/diner create flexible living space for both everyday life and entertaining. Two bathrooms and double glazing fitted post-2002 add practical comfort for sharers or a small family.
Practical factors to note: the property is ex-local authority, leasehold with 88 years remaining, and carries an annual service charge of about £2,102. The building is mid-terrace from the 1950–66 era with cavity walls assumed to lack insulation — upgrading insulation could reduce running costs. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; the EPC is C.
Location is a strong selling point. You’re a short walk from London Fields park and Broadway Market, with excellent local transport, fast broadband and several highly rated primary schools nearby. The surrounding neighbourhood is inner-city cosmopolitan with mixed employment; local area deprivation is high and crime is average, so viewings will help assess street-level feel.
This maisonette suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a well-sized home in a lively, well-connected part of Hackney. It offers immediate move-in potential with straightforward opportunities to increase value through targeted improvements such as insulation, cosmetic updating and kitchen/bathroom upgrades.
