Set on the second floor of a contemporary development in the heart of London Fields, this one-bedroom flat offers light-filled open-plan living and practical urban convenience. The layout is straightforward and well presented, with a double bedroom, built-in storage and a neutral finish that will suit many buyers or renters.

This is a leasehold property with 133 years remaining and modest ground rent of £200 per year. The current service charge is relatively high at £5,072 annually; factor this into running costs whether buying to live or let. The flat occupies average internal space (approx. 511 sq ft) typical of a city one-bed and will suit a single occupant or couple.
Location is a genuine strength: London Fields, Broadway Market and several transport links are within easy walking distance, making commuting and social life straightforward. That convenience is balanced by local challenges: the area records very high crime levels and ranks as deprived on local indices, so buyers should assess personal safety priorities and insurance implications.
Overall this apartment presents a low-maintenance, ready-to-move-in option with clear rental appeal and strong access to amenities. It’s best suited to first-time buyers seeking an urban lifestyle or investors targeting reliable tenant demand, provided the higher service charge and local crime figures are acceptable.
