Set on the second floor of a handsome Victorian mansion block, this one-bedroom apartment offers a well-proportioned, light-filled living space ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The layout includes a separate kitchen, a reception room with original wooden flooring, a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom plus a separate WC — all within approximately 480 sq ft. A recently fitted boiler and double glazing (installation date unknown) help reduce running costs; EPC C.
The location is a major selling point: a short walk to Bethnal Green tube, the cafés and markets of Roman Road and the green expanse of Victoria Park. Local amenities are comprehensive, from supermarkets and cafés to schools (including an Outstanding-rated primary) and good bus links, making daily life convenient.
Practical considerations are clear and stated: the lease has around 139–140 years remaining, and service charges are typically around £1,700 per year (figures vary/confirm). There is off-street parking, but the building is in an inner-city area with a higher local crime rate and parts of the wider area classed as deprived. The building is solid brick with no known wall insulation (as-built), so further improvements could be considered to enhance comfort and efficiency.
Overall this apartment represents an accessible entry into East London living with period character and useful modern upgrades. It will suit buyers seeking a convenient base near transport and green space, or investors looking for a central one-bedroom with straightforward management. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and consider insulation/upgrading opportunities if desired.
