Set within a gated, architect-designed development on Drysdale Street, this one-bedroom apartment offers generous living space (approx. 882 sq ft) and secure underground parking — a rare combination in central Shoreditch. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and an open-plan layout create bright, sociable rooms ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The interior is contemporary throughout, with resin-poured flooring, a modern kitchen with island and a well-appointed bathroom.
Practical running costs and tenure are straightforward: a very long lease (976 years), a modest ground rent (£250) and a service charge that explicitly includes a sinking fund. The property is double-glazed and was constructed in the 2003–2006 period; heating is by electric storage heaters so buyers should expect electricity-based running costs rather than gas central heating.
Location is a genuine draw for buyers seeking Shoreditch life — Hoxton, Shoreditch High Street and Old Street stations are all within walking distance, and a wide range of restaurants, bars and shops are on the doorstep. That proximity brings city convenience and strong rental demand for investors or young professionals.
Buyers should note local challenges: the wider area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which may affect long-term desirability and insurance costs. The apartment’s urban outlook faces neighbouring buildings rather than open views, and the electric storage heating may not suit those prioritising low heating bills. Overall, the home is a sizable, well-specified one-bedroom in a secure development, best suited to buyers prioritising location and contemporary city living.
