Set within a mid-century brick block in Shadwell, this well-located flat places Canary Wharf, the City and St Katharine’s Dock within easy reach. The reception room is bright and the apartment benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). The block offers communal areas and on-street/multi-storey parking nearby.
The layout provides practical living space across approximately 599 sq ft. Neutral décor helps the property feel ready to move into, while the separate kitchen—basic with laminate units and tiled splashbacks—would reward modest modernisation. White goods are included.
Important practical facts: the tenure is leasehold with around 87 years remaining and a ground rent of £10 (other service charges not specified). The area has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but local crime is above average and the wider neighbourhood is classified as relatively deprived.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a central location with short commutes to Canary Wharf and the City. It offers refurbishment potential and straightforward day-to-day living, but buyers should budget for kitchen updates and investigate service charges and building maintenance before purchase.
