Set on the top floor of a handsome Georgian conversion in the heart of Spitalfields, this one-bedroom flat offers central-city living with period charm. Dual-aspect sash windows and high ceilings deliver generous daylight to the semi-open-plan reception and kitchen, while wooden floors and built-in bedroom storage add practical comfort.
The flat is well suited to a first-time buyer seeking a compact, characterful home close to Shoreditch and Liverpool Street transport links; it also presents straightforward buy-to-let potential given the location and 515 sq ft layout. A private off-street parking space is a notable rarity in the area and adds everyday convenience.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is electrically heated via storage heaters, broadband speeds are very slow, and the service charge is above average at £5,000 per year. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high, so buyers should factor security and insurance costs into their plans. The lease has a healthy 123 years remaining.
Overall this apartment is a compact, well-located inner-city home with period character and good transport connections, best for buyers who prioritise location and charm over low running costs or fast internet. Some updating and attention to heating and insulation could enhance comfort and long-term value.
