A bright top-floor one-bedroom apartment in E2, offering a compact but well-presented home with private balcony and clear views across East London. The reception room benefits from good natural light and direct outdoor access, while a separate fitted kitchen and generous double bedroom make the layout practical for everyday living. The flat is chain free and ready to move into.
Position is a strong selling point: moments from Broadway Market and Columbia Road Flower Market, within walking distance of Shoreditch and Victoria Park, and well served by Bethnal Green Underground, Cambridge Heath Overground and multiple bus routes. The immediate neighbourhood has plentiful local amenities, cafés and shops, suiting first-time buyers who want an active urban lifestyle.
Be aware of material costs and constraints: the property is small at approximately 360 sq ft, and the annual service charge is relatively high (around £3,000). The flat is leasehold with 113 years remaining and a ground rent of £252 pa. Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators, and the building is a Victorian mixed-use conversion — characterful but potentially requiring ongoing maintenance.
Overall this is a convenient, characterful one-bedroom with strong transport links and market-side appeal. It suits first-time buyers seeking a compact city base with outdoors space, but buyers should budget for service charges and factor the leasehold tenure into longer-term plans.
