Summary - ANSELL HOUSE FLAT 14 MILE END ROAD LONDON E1 4UU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free apartment with long lease and excellent transport links.
South-facing balcony with city views
This third-floor two-bedroom flat in Ansell House offers a bright, south-facing balcony and a practical 681 sq ft layout suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property is chain-free with an extended lease (175 years remaining) and benefits from communal heating and hot water included in the service charge, simplifying running costs for residents.
The apartment sits in a former local-authority block close to excellent transport links, including Mile End station and new Crossrail connections, making commutes straightforward. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and the immediate neighbourhood has a wide range of shops, cafés and everyday amenities.
Buyers should note material considerations: the annual service charge is significant at £3,376.13 and heating is provided via a community scheme rather than independent boilers. The building is ex-council with some exterior wear to the balcony and is constructed from solid brick with no known insulation, which can affect thermal efficiency. The area records very high crime and is classified as deprived, which will be important for buyer due diligence.
Overall, this is a practical, ready-to-move-into flat with long lease security and strong transport links, well suited to someone seeking an affordable entry into East London housing or an investor targeting rental demand. Its communal heating inclusion and chain-free sale are clear conveniences, while the service charge level and local area factors are realistic trade-offs to consider.
