Bright, south-facing penthouse living in the heart of Shoreditch, designed for sunlight and city views. The apartment’s floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan layout create a spacious 600 sq ft interior that flows directly onto a large private terrace — ideal for entertaining or relaxed outdoor living. The double bedroom is tucked away for privacy and the finish is contemporary throughout.
Practical strengths include a long 140-year lease and straightforward gas-fired boiler and radiators. The property sits within easy walking distance of Hoxton Overground and Shoreditch High Street, placing markets, cafés and cultural hubs moments away. Average service charge (£2,000 pa) and typical urban broadband speeds suit most buyers but are noted for budgeting purposes.
Be clear about material negatives: the neighbourhood records a high crime rate and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which can affect perceptions, insurance and resale in the short term. Broadband speeds are average and the building sits within an inner-city, mixed-employment context. This penthouse will appeal to buyers who prioritise location, private outdoor space and light, and who are comfortable living in a busy urban environment.
