Flat to rent Dalston Lane, Greater London

Description

A remarkably spacious three-bedroom Live/Work property to rent within Springfield House on Tyssen Street, offering approximately 1,251 sq ft / ****** sq m of flexible accommodation in the heart of Dalston.

Positioned on the third floor, the property immediately stands out for its sheer scale. The centrepiece is the outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room, measuring approximately 29'10" x 22'0" and providing a level of living and working space rarely available within a three-bedroom property in E8. The room is exceptionally bright, with large industrial-style windows, warm wood flooring, recessed lighting and a crisp neutral decorative scheme creating a contemporary, loft-inspired feel.

The kitchen sits neatly to one side of the main reception and is finished with sleek high-gloss white cabinetry, integrated appliances, extensive worktop space and a tiled splashback, allowing the principal room to remain open, sociable and highly adaptable. There is ample space for separate lounge, dining and substantial home-working areas without compromising the proportions of the room.

All three bedrooms are genuine usable rooms, with the principal bedroom particularly impressive at approximately 18'10" x 13'1". It benefits from multiple windows, excellent natural light, extensive floor space and its own modern en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms measure approximately 12'9" x 9'11" and 12'6" x 7'4", making the layout particularly versatile for those requiring additional office, studio or workspace alongside residential accommodation.

There is also a contemporary main bathroom with bath and separate shower arrangement, while the property is presented in a bright, understated palette of white walls, grey carpeting and natural wood finishes. The combination of large windows, high ceilings, oversized rooms and the building's more industrial character gives the property a distinctive warehouse-style Live/Work identity while retaining the comfort of a modern home.

Springfield House occupies a highly convenient Dalston position, with Dalston Junction and Dalston Kingsland stations both within easy reach, providing excellent connections towards Shoreditch, Highbury & Islington, Stratford and the wider London network. The independent cafés, restaurants, bars and shops of Dalston are close by, with London Fields, Broadway Market, Stoke Newington and Hackney also readily accessible.

At approximately 1,251 sq ft, the property offers considerably more space than the conventional three-bedroom rental and is particularly well suited to occupants genuinely requiring a substantial combined home and professional workspace.

Important Live/Work Disclaimer
The building in which the Property is located has a designated Live/Work planning use. A Live/Work property is designed to allow the space to be used simultaneously as a home as well as a base from which to undertake work. Working from the Property is a mandatory requirement, and using the flat exclusively for residential use is not permitted. The Live/Work Lease that governs the tenancy is a combination of both residential and commercial.

As such, the Live/Work Lease is not the same as an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (commonly known in its abbreviated term as an AST) which relates to purely residential occupation. It does not fall within the Housing Act 1988 and so does not enjoy the statutory protections which flow from that legislation, like the requirement for deposits to be registered with a government approved scheme. Importantly, the Live/Work Lease will also not be covered by the changes made to residential tenancies by the Renters Rights Bill which is currently making its way through Parliament, including open ended tenancies, or the ability to appeal rent increases. The Live/Work Lease may fall within the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.

The provisions of Sections 24 to 28 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 will be excluded in relation to the tenancy. You will be provided with a Notice in the form set out in Schedule 1 of the Regulatory Reform (Business Tenancies) (England and Wales) Order 2003 (the 2003 Reform Order).

Before the start of the Lease, you will need to sign a 'Statutory' Declaration, which must be witnessed by a solicitor who is empowered to administer oaths. The cost of this is minimal (usually circa £10) and it can be undertaken very quickly at most solicitors' offices, often without an appointment.
