Set within an attractive Art Deco block just off Liverpool Street, this third-floor one-bedroom flat offers bright, modern living with excellent City views. The apartment’s private roof terrace and lift access create a rare combination of outdoor space and convenience in central E1, ideal for a buyer seeking a stylish city pied-à-terre or a lettable asset.
The apartment has a generous double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, built-in storage and an open-plan kitchen/living room that benefits from large windows and natural light. Communal porter service and lift access add day-to-day ease; the long lease (977 years) removes common leasehold concerns.
Buyers should note material running costs: a service charge of about £3,000 and an annual ground rent of £500. Heating is by electric storage heaters and glazing dates from before 2002, which may affect bills and comfort compared with modern systems. Council Tax sits in Band E, and the local area records very high crime — factor in personal security and insurance considerations.
This property suits a professional or first-time buyer who values central connectivity, a private roof terrace and period character but is comfortable budgeting for service charges and potential heating/glazing upgrades. With rapid links across the City and easy access to amenities, it’s a practical central London base with clear potential for improvement and rental appeal.
