Summary - 27a, Sidney Street E1 2HH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bedroom with private balcony and excellent transport links.
Chain free one-bedroom flat, approximately 506 sq ft
This chain-free one-bedroom flat occupies 506 sq ft in a mid-terrace block close to Whitechapel High Street and Watney Market. The open-plan living room/kitchen opens onto a large private balcony, and the property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — handy for working from home. Transport links are strong with Whitechapel Underground and Overground nearby, giving quick City access.
The building dates from 1967–75 and uses a community heating scheme supplied by mains gas. Internal condition is dated in places: low ceilings in parts of the living room, uneven walls, and general wear on fixtures and finishes. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the walls are system-built with assumed no cavity insulation, which may affect running costs and comfort.
Practical matters: the flat is leasehold with 81 years remaining, a service charge around £2,800 per year and a small ground rent of £10. There is no flood risk and crime is average for the area. The property will suit a first-time buyer or investor willing to undertake updating; it offers immediate occupation but will repay cosmetic and thermal improvements.
Local amenities are comprehensive — shops, cafés, markets, and several schools including Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding options. Be realistic about renovation scope: insulation, cosmetic redecoration and potential heating upgrades are the main areas to address.
