A bright one-bedroom apartment in a converted Victorian building, opposite the leafy Museum Gardens and a short walk from Bethnal Green tube. High ceilings and large sash windows fill the reception with natural light; the separate kitchen and double bedroom make this a comfortable first home or central pied-à-terre.
The building has period character and access to a communal courtyard, while local amenities — cafés, shops and transport links — are excellent. The flat is a practical size at around 441 sq ft and benefits from a long lease (964 years), mains gas central heating and affordable council tax bands.
Be aware of a relatively high service charge (1,962) and a small ground rent (100). The building is older (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls likely lacking modern insulation; secondary glazing or insulation improvements may be desirable to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The area records higher crime and relative deprivation, which should be weighed against the location’s strong transport and amenity offer.
