Set over two levels, this 701 sq ft maisonette offers two double bedrooms, a bright reception and a private balcony overlooking the communal garden. The split-level layout gives a feeling of space and separation between living and sleeping areas, while large windows flood the main room with light. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working, and Victoria Park plus Bow Road transport links are within easy reach.
The building dates from the late 1960s to mid-1970s and the flat shows mid-century features with clear scope to modernise. The property has double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, but cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and some internal updating is likely to improve comfort and efficiency.
Practical matters: the flat is leasehold with 98 years remaining and a single bathroom, which are important for long-term plans. The local area is an inner-city, mixed-employment neighbourhood with good amenities but higher levels of deprivation; crime is average. For a first-time buyer this is a comparatively affordable entry into Bow with strong transport and green-space benefits — for a buyer seeking a move-in-perfect home, some refurbishment will be required.
