The flat is double glazed, has gas central heating and an energy rating of B, making it efficient and straightforward to run.
The property has immediate appeal as a buy-to-let: previous tenants paid around £1,350 pcm, and the 115-year lease plus modest ground rent make it simple to manage. It also suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance starter home within walking distance of shops, transport and local amenities.
There are important local factors to note. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with a higher crime rate than average; buyers should consider personal security and insurance costs. The building participates in a community heating scheme and the service charge is around £1,592 per year, with a small ground rent of £210 — add these to running costs when budgeting.
Overall, this contemporary one-bedroom apartment is a practical, well-specified city home or rental asset. It delivers Crossrail convenience and low upkeep, but buyers should weigh local area challenges and ongoing service charges against the transport links and rental potential.
