Set on the first floor of a secure gated development, this two-bedroom flat offers practical, modern living with a private balcony and pleasant canal-side views. The reception room is bright with large windows and balcony access, while the integrated kitchen and stylish bathroom keep the finish contemporary and low-maintenance.
Practical details suit buyers who want a straightforward purchase: the lease has about 108 years remaining and the building benefits from double glazing and fast broadband. Nearby green space at Mile End Park, canal walks and several well-rated primary and secondary schools make the location family-friendly despite being in a more deprived ward.
Be aware of a significant annual service charge (around £2,300) and electric storage heaters as the main heating source — both factors that affect running costs. The flat is an average-sized, traditional-layout property from the early 1990s with potential to refresh cosmetic finishes rather than requiring major structural work.
