Occupying over 1,000 sq ft in a converted Victorian school, this two-bedroom duplex blends dramatic volume with practical city living. The double-height living room, exposed brick and mezzanine kitchen-diner create a light, loft-like atmosphere that suits entertaining and modern urban lifestyles. The apartment comes with a rare allocated gated parking space and access to a communal rooftop garden.
The property is sold chain free with a very long lease (circa 957 years) and a share of the freehold, reducing long-term ownership uncertainty. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal — useful for remote working and everyday comfort.
Location is a core strength: Mile End, Victoria Park and Regents Canal are all within easy walking distance, while Bethnal Green and Mile End tube stations are equidistant. Local amenities and green space make this a tempting option for first-time buyers seeking space, character and good transport links in East London.
Notable drawbacks are factual and material: the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the glazing installation date is unknown — further insulation or upgrade work may be needed to improve thermal efficiency and reduce running costs. The neighbourhood scores as deprived with average crime levels, and there is a single bathroom which may be limiting for some households. These points should be considered alongside the property’s character and long-lease benefits.
