Summary - Cardigan Road, London, E3 E3 5GH
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Modern two-bed with private roof terrace and parking, near Victoria Park and Bow Road.
Private roof terrace — unique to this block
This contemporary two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat offers bright open-plan living and a rare private roof terrace — a standout feature in the whole block. Finished to a modern standard with hardwood floors and double glazing, the 850 sq ft apartment includes an allocated off-street parking space and access to a larger communal roof terrace with city views.
Practical details are clear: the property is leasehold with 111 years remaining, an annual service charge around £1,965 and a small ground rent of £250. Heating is provided via a community scheme and the building dates from 2012 or later, so major structural upgrades are unlikely in the short term.
Location works well for first-time buyers seeking connectivity and local amenities. Bow Road Station and Victoria Park are within easy reach, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working. Nearby primary and secondary schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, which may appeal to those planning for family life.
Be upfront about the trade-offs. The neighbourhood is classified as deprived with a high crime statistic in the area; that impacts safety perceptions and could influence insurance or resale considerations. The relatively high service charge should also be weighed against the benefits of the roof terraces and maintained communal areas. Overall, this is a modern, well-appointed flat with strong lifestyle perks but some local social challenges to consider.
