3 bed Flat For Sale £825,000
There's nowhere hotter than Hackney: Urban hipsters of all ages flock here for cool bars, great restaurants and east London edge, then stay for boring but important stuff like great housing stock, gorgeous parks, superb schools and easy access to the rest of the capital.
So this three-bedroom flat in a heritage building near Victoria Park would be a real find at the best of times, but for Hackney's househunters, this is definitely not the best of times. A cyberattack on the local council has left it unable to process local authority searches, bringing property sales in the borough to a grinding halt. It's a situation that could last for months - but Sail Homes has a solution. Lenders will accept our unique search insurance, so if you're looking to buy in Hackney in a hurry, this property could be your only option.
Happily, it's a cracker: A stunning split-level apartment in a former Victorian school, across the road from Wells Street Common and a short walk from Homerton and London Fields Overground stations. The open-plan layout on the lower ground floor is tailor-made for weekend lounging or entertaining, with smart dark wood floors, glossy white kitchen units and a double-height void around the spiral staircase, which brings in floods of light. There are three double bedrooms, including one with an ensuite shower room and a delightful children's room with a mini climbing wall and monkey bars.
There are dozens of pubs, restaurants and independent shops within walking distance - Victoria Park village has been judged one of the best places to live in Britain by The Sunday Times. And if you have children, Bramshaw Road is in the catchment area for several primary and secondary schools deemed good or outstanding by Ofsted. Estate agents always recommend viewing as soon as possible, but in this case you really should get your skates on.
Location and Transport Links
Bramshaw Road is a five-minute walk from Homerton Overground station, which runs east to Stratford for the Westfield shopping centre and the Olympic park, and west to Highbury & Islington for Victoria Line Tubes to King's Cross St Pancras (a 15-minute journey) and the city centre.
