Summary - ARCADIA COURT, 45 FLAT 59 OLD CASTLE STREET LONDON E1 7NY
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Superb central location with excellent transport and communal gardens.
Private roof terrace with extensive city skyline views
This compact two-bedroom apartment occupies a top-floor position in a converted Victorian mansion block and is sold with an unusually large private roof terrace offering sweeping city skyline views. The interior is presented in contemporary neutral finishes with engineered wood floors in the reception, a separate fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom — a tidy, move-in-ready city base for one or two occupants.
Location is the standout value driver: Aldgate/E1 places shops, markets, restaurants and multiple transport links on your doorstep. Aldgate East is about 0.2 miles away and Liverpool Street roughly 0.3 miles, making commutes and weekend plans straightforward. Communal courtyard gardens add quiet outdoor space alongside your private terrace for entertaining or relaxing outdoors.
Important considerations are factual and material. The internal area is small at approximately 517 sq ft, so the layout suits a single person or couple rather than a family. The property is leasehold with circa 90 years remaining, an annual service charge of £4,378 (above average) and ground rent of £225 per year. Broadband speeds in the immediate area are reported very slow and local crime levels are high — both factors to weigh for daily living and potential lettings.
For a first-time buyer seeking central location, outdoor space and turnkey presentation, this flat offers genuine advantages. Buyers needing long lease length, low holding costs or high-speed internet should account for the lease term, service charge, and local connectivity when deciding to view.
