Set over the top two floors of a period conversion, this newly renovated one-bedroom apartment delivers a bright, contemporary living space and an unusually private southwest-facing roof terrace. The split-level layout separates living and sleeping areas, making the home feel larger than its 535 sq ft footprint. The open-plan reception and modern kitchen provide a calm, clean backdrop and easy flow to the outdoor deck — ideal for weekend entertaining and sunny afternoons.
Practical details are clear: the property is offered chain free with approximately 110 years remaining on the lease, an EPC rating of C, and recent double glazing. Annual costs include an average service charge of about £1,097 plus a buildings insurance contribution (~£296) and a ground rent of £250. Council tax banding is not provided.
Location is a major draw for first-time buyers: Roman Road’s independent shops, cafes and the lively market are on the doorstep, with Victoria Park a short walk away. Mile End station offers fast Underground connections to the City, Canary Wharf and the West End, while local broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should note some material points: the local crime rate is above average, and the flat’s size is modest at around 535 sq ft. While recently refurbished throughout, anyone seeking a larger long-term family home may find the one-bedroom layout limiting. Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking a ready-to-move-in, low-maintenance city home with a standout private terrace.
