Summary - ACADEMY APARTMENTS FLAT 56 INSTITUTE PLACE LONDON E8 1JZ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious character flat with private garden in central Dalston.
Two double bedrooms with generous room proportions
A rare two-bedroom apartment set within a converted Victorian school, offering dramatic triple-height vaulted space and a private garden. The generous layout (large rooms throughout) and parquet flooring create an airy, characterful home well suited to family life or buyers seeking standout town living. Transport links are strong with Hackney Downs and Hackney Central nearby for direct City and West End access.
Practical points are straightforward: leasehold with 97 years remaining, an annual service charge around £3,020 and ground rent £340. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; glazing is secondary. The building’s solid brick construction and exposed-character finishes give charm but also indicate limited built-in wall insulation.
Considerations for buyers: the local area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect buyer priorities and insurance. Council tax is above average. The flat is offered chain free and presents clear potential to reconfigure or modernise areas to create more open-plan living while retaining the impressive vaulted volume.
Overall, this apartment is for those who prioritise scale, character and outdoor space in Dalston’s inner-city setting and who are comfortable managing leasehold costs and local-area trade-offs. It offers immediate living potential and scope for thoughtful upgrading to increase comfort and long-term value.
