Summary - ANSELL HOUSE FLAT 14 MILE END ROAD LONDON E1 4UU
Two double bedrooms and spacious reception with south-facing balcony
This two-bedroom third-floor flat in Ansell House offers a straightforward, chain-free entry into Mile End living. The layout includes two double bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, separate bathroom and WC, and a bright south-facing balcony that brings in good daylight. At 681 sq ft with a long lease (approx. 172 years remaining) the home suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate occupancy or rental potential.
Practical running costs are simplified: communal heating and hot water are included in the service charge, and council tax is described as affordable. The block is a gated local-authority building with excellent transport links nearby, including quick access to central London and Crossrail, plus a wide range of local amenities and well-regarded nearby schools.
Be aware of material considerations: the property is an ex-local authority block from the 1930–49 period with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), above-average service charges (£3,376.13pa) and very low ground rent. Crime levels in the area are reported as very high and the wider area is classified as deprived; these factors may affect longer-term resale and lettability. The balcony and some external elements show age and will benefit from maintenance.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat with clear positives for those seeking a secure lease length and easy access to transport. Buyers should budget for communal/service costs and consider energy-efficiency improvements in the medium term.
