This well-presented first-floor apartment offers a compact, contemporary London home ready for immediate occupation. The open-plan kitchen/living room flows onto a private balcony, creating a bright social space well suited to modern living. Residents benefit from concierge service, communal terraces and an EWS1 certificate with an A1 rating for added safety reassurance.
Practical running costs should be noted: the current service charge is £3,542 per year (includes water/sewerage) and ground rent is £150 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property does not include parking. The flat is small at around 592 sq ft, so space is best suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact layout.
Location is a clear strength — a short walk to Maryland station with fast connections and easy access to Westfield Stratford City and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The immediate area is an inner-city, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with good mobile and broadband coverage, but local crime levels and area deprivation are higher than average and should be considered when viewing.
Lease details are straightforward with approximately 103 years remaining. The apartment is constructed c.2003–2006 and has double glazing and contemporary finishes, reflecting careful upkeep by the current owners. Buyers should verify all lease and service charge figures with their solicitor prior to offer.
