Summary - HEMMING STREET E1 E1 5GA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one-bed flat with private terrace, lift access and excellent transport links.
Seventh-floor one-bedroom with large private terrace and far-reaching City views
Bright seventh-floor one-bedroom flat with a large private terrace and lift access, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a modern, low-maintenance home with excellent transport links. The open-plan living area and balcony deliver generous natural light and far-reaching City views, while a communal terrace provides additional outdoor space.
Practical positives include a very long lease (991 years), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and easy access to the Elizabeth Line, Overground and multiple Underground stations. At 536 sq ft the apartment is a comfortable size for single occupancy or a couple, and the building’s modern finish means minimal immediate work is required.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £2,646 and a ground rent of £250. The neighbourhood records very high crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term desirability and resale. Heating is provided via a community scheme, so check ongoing costs and arrangements.
This flat suits a buyer prioritising location and transport convenience over a tranquil setting — someone who values city views, a private terrace and modern living, and who is comfortable with the management costs and local area challenges. Viewing will show how the apartment’s bright, open layout and outdoor spaces maximise its compact footprint.
