Summary - COLONNADES APARTMENTS, 35 APARTMENT 26 SYLVESTER ROAD LONDON E8 1EP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful one-bed with parking, long lease and communal gardens in Hackney.
Fifth-floor warehouse conversion with large industrial windows
Set within the iconic Colonnades warehouse conversion, this fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment blends period character with contemporary living. Large industrial-style windows, exposed brickwork and parquet flooring create bright, airy rooms that suit both first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The layout comprises a generous reception, separate kitchen, bedroom and a spacious bathroom.
Practical benefits include a long 992-year lease, allocated off-street parking, mature communal gardens and no onward chain — rare positives in central Hackney. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators and there is no flood risk. Local transport links provide direct routes into the City while Broadway Market, Mare Street and numerous amenities are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and a higher degree of deprivation than average; this will influence long-term desirability and rental assumptions. The building dates from the early 20th century and walls are solid brick with no obvious insulation, so further energy improvements may be needed. Broadband speeds are average.
Overall, the apartment offers strong character, a superb central location and low tenure risk for buyers who value proximity to Hackney’s markets and culture. It suits purchasers seeking a stylish city base or investors targeting central Hackney lets, provided they factor in local safety considerations and possible retrofit costs.
