Light, well-proportioned one-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built block on Jamaica Street, a short walk from multiple Overground and Underground stations. The home occupies the third floor and offers a separate kitchen, double bedroom, modern bathroom and built-in storage across approximately 547 sq ft (50 sqm). Large windows and a balcony bring good natural light to the living space.
Practical running costs are clear: an average service charge of £1,372pa, a nominal ground rent of £10pa and an EPC rating of C. The lease has c.92 years remaining — workable for many buyers but worth checking mortgage and lease-extension options before committing. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and shows typical mid-century concrete construction.
This flat suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable London entry point or buy-to-let investors targeting central East London rental demand. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working; nearby good and outstanding-rated schools add family appeal. Expect some typical maintenance considerations for a mid-century block: cavity walls likely uninsulated and communal upkeep obligations under the service charge.
