Summary - Widegate Street, Liverpool Street E1 7HP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Central pied-à-terre or city rental with quick tube access and modern finishes.
Directly opposite Liverpool Street Station — excellent transport links
This compact one-bedroom apartment on Widegate Street offers a rare central-City position directly opposite Liverpool Street Station, making commutes exceptionally straightforward. The open-plan reception and fitted kitchen benefit from dual-aspect windows and plenty of natural light, and stripped wooden floors and contemporary finishes create a clean, low-maintenance interior. With fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, it's well suited to a single occupant or a city-focused investor looking for strong rental demand.
The flat is small (approximately 304 sq ft / 28.3 sq m) and arranged efficiently on a single level; the L-shaped layout maximises usable space but will feel compact for those needing extra storage or living area. Tenure is leasehold with 989 years remaining — effectively a long lease — and an average service charge of £1,143 per year; Council Tax Band D applies. Heating is provided by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and glazing is secondary; the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation.
Location is the main asset: direct access to Elizabeth, Central, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines plus numerous bus routes, shops, cafés and restaurants on the doorstep. Note the area records very high crime levels — important for buyers to consider when weighing central convenience against local safety. There is no private outdoor space and no indication of notable views.
Overall, this property suits a first-time buyer seeking a central pied-à-terre or an investor targeting short-let/long-let City demand. It offers immediate move-in condition with modest running costs aside from the service charge, but buyers should accept the compact size and the neighbourhood’s safety profile when deciding to view.
