Set on the top floor of a secure gated development, this one-bedroom apartment offers bright, elevated outlooks across to The City. The open-plan reception and kitchen create a practical living space of around 509 sq ft, with a double bedroom, family bathroom and a long hallway with storage.
The location is highly convenient for first-time buyers: Mile End and Bow Road stations are close by, local shops and cafés are within easy walking distance, and Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park provides immediate green space. Nearby schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding primaries and secondaries.
Practical details to note: the flat is leasehold with 97 years remaining, ground rent is £350, and heating is by electric storage heaters which can be more expensive than gas alternatives. Broadband speeds are average. The property is offered chain free and was constructed between 1996 and 2002 with double glazing of unknown installation date.
This is a straightforward, move-in-ready starter home with strong commuter appeal and immediate outdoor amenity. Buyers seeking long-term security should factor the remaining lease length and annual ground rent into affordability calculations, and those wishing to reduce running costs may wish to consider a heating upgrade.
