Bright third-floor one-bedroom apartment in a handy Bethnal Green location, ideal for a first-time buyer or city-based professional. The flat benefits from large windows, a separate modern kitchen and a well-proportioned living room that make the most of its 445 sq ft. Public transport is superb: Bethnal Green Overground is minutes away and the Central Line is a short walk, with Shoreditch amenities within easy reach.
Practical running costs and tenure details are clear: an 81-year lease remains, service charge circa £1,519 pa and ground rent £25 pa. The property is ex-local authority, with solid brick walls and double glazing fitted before 2002; insulation upgrades and energy improvements are possible and may be desirable to reduce heating costs.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the local area records very high crime levels and the building is in a deprived neighbourhood, which may affect long-term desirability and resale ease. The apartment is compact at 445 sq ft and has no private outdoor space—best suited to a single occupant or couple who prioritise location over large living areas.
Overall, this is a well-lit, traditionally laid-out flat offering convenient city living and good transport links, with clear scope for modernisation and energy improvements. It will appeal to buyers seeking an affordable entry into East London, provided they accept the short- to medium-term challenges posed by local area statistics and the remaining lease length.
