Set on the Pleydell Estate, this compact two-bedroom apartment offers a practical central-London base with good transport links to Old Street and Angel. The open-plan reception/kitchen and balcony maximise the 600 sq ft footprint, creating a bright, city-centre living space suitable for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let purchase.
The flat includes two bathrooms (one en-suite), gas central heating, double glazing and a functional modern kitchen and living area. It has a proven rental history with an estimated current rental of £2,500 pcm, which the owner reports has been achievable and indicates potential for rental income if retained as an investment.
Buyers should note material details plainly: the property is leasehold with 82 years remaining, an average service charge of about £1,800pa and a small ground rent of £200pa. The overall size is small and ceiling heights vary, so the apartment suits those comfortable with compact urban living rather than generous room proportions.
The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation. The local area is inner-city and high-crime statistics are recorded; this contrasts with excellent transport, fast broadband and proximity to central London schools and amenities. Offered chain-free, the flat suits buyers wanting a central, well-connected property with scope to personalise and modernise.
