A compact, well-presented third-floor studio in Carillon Court offering efficient open-plan living for a single occupant or buy-to-let. The apartment benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows, integrated appliances and air-conditioning, delivering bright, low-maintenance city living close to Aldgate East and Liverpool Street transport hubs.
This studio is genuinely small (around 323 sq ft) and best suited to someone who values central location and convenience over space — a straightforward starter home or rental unit with immediate occupancy potential. The long lease (109 years) is a practical advantage for mortgage or letting purposes. Service charge and ground rent are modest for central London, but check totals when calculating yield or monthly costs.
Buyers should be aware of a few material considerations: the building sits in an area with very high crime rates and high deprivation, which may affect long‑term capital growth and tenant demand. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. There is no private outdoor space and the apartment faces the street, so privacy and external views are limited.
Overall this studio offers easy, contemporary central-London living with excellent transport links and low upkeep. It suits a first-time buyer seeking a compact city base or an investor targeting a lettable central London unit, provided the neighbourhood profile and electric heating are acceptable to the purchaser.
