Summary - WELSH HOUSE FLAT 4 WAPPING LANE LONDON E1W 2RP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free 1930s one-bed, steps from Wapping Station and communal garden.
Chain free one-bedroom, circa 615 sq ft
A bright one-bedroom apartment in a 1930s mansion-style block, quietly set on Wapping Lane yet only 0.1 miles from Wapping Station (London Overground). The living room benefits from large windows and high ceilings; a separate fitted kitchen and a double bedroom complete a straightforward, usable layout across about 615 sq ft. The building includes a communal landscaped garden and the flat is offered chain free.
Practical features include double glazing, mains gas central heating and a modest annual service charge (£1,558). The property’s period character and central location make it a realistic option for first-time buyers seeking a manageable apartment close to the City, or for buy-to-let investors looking for solid rental appeal in Zone 2.
Buyers should note material facts: the lease has about 87 years remaining, service charges are payable, and ground rent is low at £10 annually. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so refurbishment to improve thermal performance may be needed. The local area records above-average crime and is relatively deprived compared with some surrounding parts of Tower Hamlets.
Overall this is a well-presented, compact city apartment with good natural light and period charm. It suits someone prioritising location and a ready-to-live-in flat, provided they accept the lease length and potential medium-term maintenance or upgrade costs.
