Single glazing and electric room heaters — upgrade recommended
Area records very high crime rates; local deprivation noted
Period mansion block character, but some modernization needed
Set within an elegant Victorian mansion block on leafy Wilmot Street, this two-bedroom, full-width garden apartment provides 856 sq ft of well-proportioned living space. The flat benefits from a generous modern kitchen, two double bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom and useful built-in storage — a rare layout in this small block and offered with a very long lease and share of freehold.
Practical positives include a west-facing full-width garden, off-street parking and exceptionally convenient transport links (Bethnal Green Underground 0.2 miles; Overground very nearby). The location places you on the edge of Weavers Fields with a broad range of local amenities and several well-rated schools within walking distance, useful for couples or first-time buyers seeking space and accessibility in inner London.
Buyers should note some material downsides: the property currently has single glazing and relies on electric room heaters, which will affect thermal performance and running costs. The surrounding area records very high crime rates and is classified as deprived — factors to weigh for personal safety and long-term desirability. The building dates from the late 20th century but sits in a Victorian block; some cosmetic or energy-efficiency improvements are likely required.
This home suits purchasers who value outdoor space, strong transport links and a rare garden configuration in this pocket of E2, and who are prepared to invest in upgrading glazing and heating to improve comfort and reduce bills. The long lease and share of freehold provide ownership security and flexibility for future renovation plans.
