Floor-to-ceiling windows provide excellent natural light throughout
Long 140-year lease offers secure long-term ownership
Service charge circa £2,000 per year; factor into running costs

Higher local crime rates and very deprived wider area — consider location
706 sq ft — medium-sized penthouse, no major structural issues noted
Light-filled penthouse living in Shoreditch, arranged over a single linear level with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the open-plan reception/kitchen with daylight. The apartment has two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged for practical city living, and benefits from a long 140-year lease that gives long-term security.
The standout is the private terrace (around 17'2" x 11'8", roughly 200 sq ft), a rare outdoor room in this part of London ideal for entertaining, relaxing or dining al fresco. The interior is contemporary in style with hardwood floors and recessed lighting, and the layout makes the most of the available 706 sq ft.
Practical points to note: service charges average about £2,000 a year and council tax is moderate. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area records higher crime levels and significant local deprivation — important factors for buyers to consider alongside the excellent transport links and plentiful local amenities.
This penthouse will suit someone seeking a bright, low-maintenance city home or an investor after a well-located rental asset with a long lease and standout outdoor space. The apartment is presented in contemporary condition but offers scope to personalise rather than requiring major works.
