Compact, well-serviced one-bedroom near the City with strong connectivity.
Third-floor one-bedroom with Juliette balcony and open-plan living
Set on the third floor of a modern 1996–2002 development in Aldgate, this one-bedroom apartment offers compact city living with low-maintenance finishes and useful communal facilities. The reception room has a Juliette balcony and open-plan kitchen, while the double bedroom provides built-in storage — a practical layout for a single buyer or couple. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home-working and streaming needs.
Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, lift access, communal gym, sauna, spa and a large communal roof terrace — amenities that add lifestyle value and tenant appeal if you choose to rent. The flat is double-glazed (install date unknown) and lies on a 100-year lease, giving security for buyers worried about short leases.
Running costs and practicalities deserve attention. Heating is by individual electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can mean higher energy bills. The annual service charge is circa £2,152 and ground rent £150; factor these into affordability alongside the £350,000 asking price. Local area indicators show average crime and pockets of deprivation nearby, though the immediate location is inner-city and well connected to the City and public transport.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a turn-key urban home or an investor looking for a well-serviced, let-ready unit close to the City. It offers immediate occupation potential with some long-term running-cost considerations to weigh before purchase.
