This bright two-bedroom flat on the third floor of a secure purpose-built block offers roomy living across 687 sq ft — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking space and scope. The separate fitted kitchen and a generous reception room give comfortable everyday layout; both bedrooms are well-proportioned for double beds and storage. Located moments from Columbia Road and Hackney Road, the flat sits close to shops, cafes, markets and good transport links.
The property is a straightforward, traditional layout with double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The building dates from the mid-20th century and the flat is presented in a mostly standard condition with some dated elements in the living room — there’s clear potential to modernise and add value through cosmetic renovation and energy-efficiency improvements.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with 87 years remaining and a modest ground rent (£10). Construction is system-built and external walls are assumed to lack insulation, which may mean future costs to upgrade thermal efficiency. On the positive side the area benefits from excellent broadband and mobile signal, low recorded crime and a strong cluster of well-rated schools nearby.
This property will suit buyers who want a ready-to-move-into home with scope to personalise, or investors looking for a centrally located two-bedroom with renovation upside. Expect a relatively affordable entry into E2 with immediate access to local amenities and strong rental/owner demand in this part of Bethnal Green.
