Summary - 1 FLAT 87 PRESCOT STREET LONDON E1 8RL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious one-bedroom near Aldgate and Tower Hill — long lease, ready to personalise.
Bright, airy reception with large windows
Light-filled one-bedroom flat set within an Art Deco building, a short walk from Aldgate and Tower Hill stations. The reception room feels spacious for the footprint and benefits from large windows and clean contemporary finishes, while a separate kitchen and a well-proportioned bedroom with fitted storage make the layout practical for everyday living.
The property has a very long lease (970 years) and double glazing, which are strong ownership advantages in this area. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working; local amenities and a range of schools are all within easy reach. The flat’s 556 sq ft size sits comfortably for a first-time buyer seeking a central, well-connected home with potential to personalise.
Buyers should note a high service charge (circa £3,750 pa) and a small ground rent (£150 pa). Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, which may mean higher running costs and scope for retrofit improvement. The immediate area records very high crime levels, so security-conscious buyers should factor that into their decision.
Overall, this is a convenient central flat with secure long-lease ownership and everyday practicality. It will suit a first-time buyer who values location and bright living space and is prepared to manage higher service costs and consider energy-efficiency upgrades.
