Light-filled two-bedroom apartment with large southwest balcony and concierge, moments from Hackney Wick station.
713 sq ft modern two-bedroom apartment, third floor
Bright, well-configured two-bedroom apartment in a popular Hackney Wick development, ideal for first-time buyers seeking modern urban living. The home offers 713 sq ft of open-plan living, two double bedrooms and a large south-west facing balcony that captures afternoon sun — good for entertaining or relaxing. Underfloor heating throughout provides consistent comfort and lowers visible radiators.
Curie House delivers practical building amenities: a 7am–7pm concierge, secure basement bike storage, communal gardens and active resident events. The location is highly walkable to Hackney Wick station (one stop to Stratford), Victoria Park and the Olympic Park, with plentiful cafes, canalside bars and cultural venues nearby. Westfield Stratford and the East Bank cultural quarter are within straightforward reach.
Key running costs and considerations are clear: a service charge of about £3,600pa and council tax band D apply. Crime levels in the immediate area are very high compared with national averages, and the wider area shows signs of deprivation — factors to weigh for family buyers or those prioritising quieter streets. The 995-year lease and EWS1 compliance are strong tenure positives, and there is no ground rent.
Overall this is a contemporary, low-maintenance apartment suited to buyers who want modern fittings, excellent transport links and outside space in an energetic East London neighbourhood. It will particularly suit first-time buyers and investors wanting a lettable property near major hubs; those seeking a very quiet or rural feel should look elsewhere.
