A bright, chain-free two-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of Bannister House, part of the canalside Skippers Yard development. The dual-aspect open-plan living room features floor-to-ceiling glazing and a west-facing balcony with far-reaching city views, while hardwood floors and contemporary fittings run throughout the home.
The layout includes two double bedrooms (one with en-suite and fitted wardrobes), a separate family bathroom and useful entrance storage. At approximately 765 sq ft, the apartment offers generous living space for a first-time buyer or couple looking for a long-term London base, with excellent local transport links to Hackney Wick and Stratford.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 245 years remaining and is EWS1 compliant. Heating is provided via a community scheme, and the location is canalside within an inner-city, multicultural neighbourhood. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the local crime rate is very high — both factors to consider for insurance and personal safety planning.
Overall this is a well-presented, modern apartment with good light and views, convenient access to parks, shops and leisure. It suits buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in city home with potential to add value, provided they accept the urban setting and take account of the area's safety and flood considerations.
