This bright two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat sits beside Regent’s Canal and offers split-level living across 777 sq ft. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony with waterside views, while the principal bedroom includes an en-suite and its own balcony — good for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Allocated off-street parking is included, a useful rarity in central London.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (circa 971 years), double glazing and secure building access. The location is highly walkable: Victoria Park is a short stroll away and Mile End and Bethnal Green stations provide straightforward transport links. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working or streaming, and the multicultural, inner-city neighbourhood offers shops, cafés and leisure amenities on the doorstep.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with an annual service charge of about £3,619 and a small ground rent of £100 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be less efficient than gas systems and affect running costs. Council tax is above average and the wider area scores as deprived — an important consideration for some buyers.
Overall this apartment will suit first-time buyers or investors looking for a well-located, low-maintenance home with strong transport links, waterside appeal and long-term security from an exceptionally long lease. Budget for running costs and consider potential heating upgrades to reduce bills.
