Private balcony, excellent transport links and highly rated nearby schools.
Open-plan reception room with contemporary fitted kitchen
A bright, well-presented two-bedroom home arranged over a single level with an open-plan reception and contemporary fitted kitchen leading to a private balcony. At around 660 sq ft it offers generous storage and practical living for a first purchase.
The property is sold as a 25% shared ownership share, with a 109-year lease remaining and an average annual service charge of £1,872. Heating is via electric storage heaters, and mains electric is the main fuel — running costs can be higher than gas alternatives. Double glazing and recent construction (2007–2011) add thermal efficiency and a relatively low maintenance finish.
Situated in Bow with very good transport links, fast broadband and an inner-city cosmopolitan neighbourhood of mainly white-collar workers, the flat suits buyers seeking commuting convenience. Nearby schools include several Ofsted-rated Outstanding and Good primaries and secondaries. Crime levels are very low and local amenities are plentiful.
Practical considerations: this is a shared-ownership leasehold sale (25% share) with a meaningful annual service charge and electric heating. Buyers should confirm staircasing options and running costs before committing. Overall, it’s an accessible entry route to ownership for buyers prioritising location and low-maintenance contemporary living.
