The property is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment located in Dalston Square, London, E8. Dalston is a vibrant area in Hackney, known for its diverse community, independent shops, and excellent transport links. Dalston Junction Overground station is within a short walking distance, providing easy access to other parts of London. The presence of several well-regarded schools nearby, such as Inspired Directions School and Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), adds to the appeal of the location for families.

The apartment itself appears to be in excellent condition. The photos show a modern, well-maintained interior with a contemporary kitchen and bathroom. The living area is spacious and bright, benefiting from floor-to-ceiling windows and access to a private balcony offering city views. The overall presentation suggests minimal need for repair or renovation.

While the property does not have a garden in the traditional sense, it does offer a substantial private balcony, providing valuable outdoor space. This is a significant advantage, especially in a densely populated urban area like Dalston.

Considering the list price of £550,000, the average price of £721,810, and the average price per square foot of £921 in the area, the property appears to be reasonably priced. While the average price per square foot is higher than the property’s implied price per square foot (£550,000 / 836 sq ft = £657), the inclusion of a private balcony and the property’s excellent condition justify the slightly lower price. The nearby comparable listings of similar size and type in Dalston Square support this assessment.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
