Set within a converted 1930s red‑brick building on Hoxton Square, this two-bedroom live/work apartment combines industrial character with modern finishes. High Crittall windows, exposed brickwork and generous ceiling height create a bright, flexible open-plan living space ideal for entertaining or a home studio. At about 709 sq ft, the layout supports clear living, dining and workspace zones.
Practical details suit buyers seeking long-term security: an unusually long lease of approximately 973 years, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, and council tax in an affordable band. The home sits a minute from Hoxton Square Park and within easy walking distance of Old Street and Liverpool Street stations, plus Shoreditch’s restaurants, galleries and amenities.
Buyers should note a few material points: the apartment is on the third floor and accessed only by stairs, there is no confirmed cavity insulation in the solid brick walls (likely none), and the area records very high crime levels — factors to weigh for residents and insurers. Annual outgoings include a service charge of about £2,500 and ground rent around £200.
This property will suit someone seeking an authentic East London apartment with live/work potential and strong transport links. It offers immediate lifestyle appeal and scope to personalise the finish, but consider stair access, insulation and local safety statistics when deciding to view.
