Step into a spacious one-bedroom flat offering 506 sq ft of open-plan living with a large private balcony and strong local transport links. The property is chain-free and located close to Whitechapel High Street, Watney Market and Whitechapel Hospital — convenient for commuting and local amenities.
The interior shows mid-century character but is dated in places: low ceilings in parts of the living room, uneven walls, worn finishes and fixtures that will need refreshing. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme and the glazing was installed before 2002; the building is a system-built block with assumed no wall insulation, so further upgrading may be required to improve efficiency.
Practical ownership details are straightforward but important: leasehold with 81 years remaining, an average service charge of about £2,800 per year and a nominal ground rent. Council tax is described as cheap. These costs, together with the building’s construction type and communal heating, are material factors for buyers to consider.
For a first-time buyer or investor comfortable with a refurbishment project, this flat offers good potential — a generous layout, private outdoor space and excellent connectivity to the City. Buyers seeking a fully modernised home without further work should be aware of the likely need for investment to update finishes and improve thermal performance.
