Light-filled, modern two-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of Bannister House, offering roomy open-plan living and a west-facing balcony with far-reaching city views. Floor-to-ceiling windows and hardwood floors give the living space a bright, contemporary feel, while the dual-aspect layout improves ventilation and daylight throughout. The property includes two bathrooms (one en-suite) and built-in storage, making it a practical first home or buy-to-let unit.
Positioned in Fish Island / Hackney Wick, the development sits canalside with easy access to cafés, galleries and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Hackney Wick and Stratford stations are within walking distance for fast links into the City and beyond. The apartment is EWS1 compliant and comes with a long lease (approx. 245 years), providing clearer financeability for buyers.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area records very high crime levels and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone. Heating is provided via a community scheme rather than individual gas boilers, and the property is leasehold. These are important considerations for insurance, running costs and suitability depending on buyer priorities.
Overall this is a contemporary, well-presented apartment offering strong transport and leisure access, plus clear potential for first-time buyers or investors seeking central Hackney Wick living. Readers should weigh the excellent connectivity and modern finish against local crime statistics and flood risk when deciding to view.
