This bright one-bedroom apartment sits in a modern block on Sedgwick Street, offering efficient living across 555 sq ft with an open-plan kitchen/living area and a large private balcony. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the reception with light and the block provides lift access, bike storage and a communal roof terrace with far-reaching views — useful extras for city living.
Practical details are straightforward: 108 years remain on the lease, there is no annual ground rent, and council tax sits in Band C. The property is well placed for transport with Homerton Overground a very short walk away, giving quick links to Stratford and the Elizabeth Line, and local amenities on Chatsworth Road and Homerton High Street are immediate.
Important negatives that a buyer should note: the service charge is relatively high at £2,083 per year, the building sits in an area classified as very deprived and recorded crime levels are very high. These local factors are material for buyers considering security, resale or rental prospects.
Overall this flat will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a modern, low-maintenance home near excellent transport and local shops. It offers immediate move-in convenience and city views, but buyers should weigh the service charge and local safety/deprivation indicators against the location and lease terms.
