Bright, compact and well-located, this one-bedroom top-floor flat offers clear appeal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan reception/kitchen faces south-east, flooding the living space with daylight and framing pleasant views over the canal and the City from a private balcony. At around 550 sq ft the layout feels spacious for a one-bedroom, with wooden floors and contemporary fittings throughout.
Practicalities are straightforward: 106 years remain on the lease, with an annual service charge of approximately £2,352 and a modest ground rent of £150. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be effective but often costs more than gas alternatives and may be a consideration for budget-conscious buyers. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no recorded flood risk.
The location is a major selling point — walking distance to Stepney Green, Mile End and Limehouse DLR for reliable links to the City and Canary Wharf, plus nearby green spaces and university facilities. Crime levels are very low and the neighbourhood is an inner-city, multi-ethnic professional area, benefitting buyers who prioritise transport, amenities and rental demand. Buyers should note the property is leasehold and that the service charge is significant; some cosmetic updating or heating upgrades could unlock extra value.
