Summary - 40A CEPHAS STREET LONDON E1 4AX
Two double bedrooms and light dual-aspect reception/kitchen
Set on the top floor of a well-preserved Victorian conversion in the St Peters Conservation Area, this two-double-bedroom flat balances period character with bright, contemporary living. The dual-aspect reception/kitchen is airy and light, with large windows and wooden flooring creating an inviting main living space. At around 726 sq ft, the layout is traditional and straightforward — ideal for first-time buyers seeking a roomy city home or a buy-to-let opportunity.
Location is a core strength: Stepney Green, Bethnal Green and Whitechapel stations are within easy reach, putting central London and vibrant local hotspots such as Brick Lane and Shoreditch close at hand. Local amenities are abundant — supermarkets, coffee shops, schools and leisure facilities are all nearby. The property is offered chain free and has a long lease (113 years), making the purchase process simpler and the tenure secure for now.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with a small ground rent of £200 and affordable council tax, and there is no flood risk. However, the wider area scores as very deprived and crime levels are high; buyers should consider local safety and community factors when viewing. Overall, this well-presented period flat gives first-time purchasers a spacious, characterful home in a highly connected part of East London, with clear potential to personalise.
