Summary - EMERSON BUILDING, 3 FLAT 9 GLADSTONE PLACE LONDON E3 5EU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Unique high-ceilinged two-bedroom shared ownership flat near Victoria Park.
50% shared ownership — 700 sq ft two-bedroom flat
A striking two-bedroom apartment set within a converted Gothic Revival church on Roman Road, offered as 50% shared ownership. The home makes a strong first impression with high ceilings, generous room proportions and a dramatic spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine bedroom — a rare combination of period character and contemporary open-plan living.
The ground-floor layout provides an open-plan kitchen and living area that benefits from abundant natural light and wood flooring, while the mezzanine creates a versatile second bedroom or study. At around 700 sq ft overall, the flat feels spacious for an inner-city property and is a short walk from Victoria Park and local shops, cafés and transport links.
Be clear on the practical considerations: this is a leasehold, 50% shared ownership sale with about 105 years remaining on the lease. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives, and council tax details are not provided. The wider neighbourhood is classed as deprived with higher local crime levels, so security and running costs should factor into your decision.
This property will suit a buyer seeking character and location on a budget — particularly first-time buyers who want part-ownership to step onto the ladder while enjoying a distinctive, high-ceilinged apartment. It also presents light renovation potential to modernise services and reduce running costs over time.
