This recently refurbished one-bedroom ground-floor flat sits directly beside a tree-lined canal, with French doors leading to a private garden and towpath access. The reception room and separate kitchen are bright with modern finishes and plenty of built-in storage, creating a ready-to-move-in home for buyers seeking East London living.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (944 years remaining), double glazing, good transport links nearby and proximity to Victoria Park, London Fields and Broadway Market. The service charge of £2,335 pa covers community heating and ground rent, simplifying running costs but reducing control over heating choices.
Notable drawbacks are the limited width of the private garden and some exposure to passers-by on the towpath. The property sits in an area classed as very deprived, which may affect long-term value or tenant demand. Crime is average and flood risk is low.
Overall this flat will suit first-time buyers or investors wanting a low-maintenance, well-connected canal-side home with immediate rental or owner-occupier appeal; buyers seeking large private outdoor space or independent heating should look elsewhere.
