This immaculately presented two-bedroom duplex offers 726 sq ft of well-proportioned living across two floors, ideal for first-time buyers seeking a roomy London flat. The bright reception room opens onto a spacious balcony, providing private outdoor space and city views toward Canary Wharf. The kitchen comes with fitted appliances and sensible storage, while two double bedrooms sit on the upper level alongside the main bathroom.
Practical strengths include a newly extended lease of approximately 174 years, double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband/mobile reception. Transport links are a major draw: Bow Road, Mile End and local bus routes provide quick access to Canary Wharf, Stratford and central London. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, which is a plus for young families.
Buyers should note factual drawbacks: the home is leasehold with a service charge around £1,450 per year, there is a single full bathroom (plus a lower-level WC), and the building dates from the 1950s–60s so communal areas may reflect that era. The surrounding area scores as relatively deprived and crime is average — common for inner-city locations — so viewing will help assess suitability. Overall, this is a practical, ready-to-move-in flat with long-term lease security and good transport links, offering clear potential for buyers prioritising space and connectivity over period charm.
