Summary - 59 DOWNS ROAD LONDON E5 8QP
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright 2-bed flat opposite Hackney Downs Park — chain free with parking.
817 sq ft bright 2nd-floor flat with direct Downs Park views
Set directly opposite Hackney Downs Park, this bright second-floor flat delivers 817 sq ft of adaptable living space and expansive park views. The large reception room, separate snug with floor-to-ceiling glazing and an eat-in kitchen create a comfortable, sociable layout that suits a first-time buyer or young couple seeking outdoor access and city convenience.
Two large double bedrooms and one bathroom provide straightforward accommodation; the apartment’s on-trend interiors feel fresh and welcoming. Practical extras include an allocated off-street parking space, double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators. Transport links are close by (Hackney Downs and Hackney Central), and popular primary and secondary schools lie within easy reach.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (106 years remaining), chain free and carries an annual service charge of approximately £2,004. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further energy upgrades could be beneficial despite the EPC C rating. There is a single bathroom, which may be restrictive for some households.
This flat will particularly suit buyers after an immediate move-in opportunity with room to personalise rather than a turnkey family home. Its combination of park-side outlook, sizeable rooms and allocated parking makes it a rare find for this price band in E5, but factor in running costs and potential insulation or upgrade work when assessing value.
