Set in the heart of Stratford, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment offers compact, modern living with immediate access to Stratford’s transport hub, Westfield and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The well-presented interior includes a master en-suite and a private balcony that extends the living space for light outdoor use. At roughly 600 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or sharers seeking a central location with good local amenities.
Practical points work in the buyer’s favour: 132 years remain on the lease, the property is chain-free and has secure entry, lift access and on-site amenities including a residents’ gym and communal courtyard. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, making the flat ready for remote working or streaming from day one. Council tax is described as affordable and the building dates from the 1980s/90s construction period with double glazing.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly: heating is electric via room heaters (likely higher running costs than gas), ground rent is £280 per year, and the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices. Service charges are reviewed annually (amount not provided); prospective buyers should obtain the latest service charge figure and confirm historic costs before offer.
This apartment suits a buyer prioritising location and transport over large living space. It offers a straightforward purchase route and good onward connectivity, but budget planning should include elevated energy costs and the regular service/ground rent commitments.
