A bright, newly renovated two-double-bedroom maisonette with a private south-facing garden, offered chain free and ready to move into. The ground floor has a modern kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances, a reception room with full-height glazed patio doors to the garden, and a downstairs WC. Upstairs are two well-sized double bedrooms and a luxury bathroom finished in Carrara marble.
Location is a major draw: Barnes Street sits in the York Square conservation area in Limehouse, about 0.2 miles from Limehouse station for fast links to Canary Wharf, the City and C2C routes. Local green spaces such as Mile End Park, Stepney Green and Limehouse Basin are within easy reach, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 88 years remaining (125-year lease from 10 July 1989), an annual service charge around £2,191.98 and ground rent of £10 per annum. The building dates from the 1950s–60s, has cavity walls assumed without insulation, and double glazing installed before 2002 — these factors could affect running costs and future upgrade requirements.
This maisonette suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a turnkey London flat with private outdoor space and excellent transport links. It offers immediate comfort and a solid platform for improvement, but buyers should budget for potential fabric and thermal upgrades and be comfortable with the remaining lease length and service charges.
