Bright and practical, this one-bedroom apartment in a gated Morton Close development offers low-maintenance city living just minutes from Stepney Green and Whitechapel stations. The open-plan living and kitchen area benefits from large windows and south-facing aspect, creating a light, sociable space suited to everyday life or working from home. The bedroom is a comfortable double with room for wardrobes and a desk.
The development provides secure entry, residents’ off-street parking and bike storage — useful extras in central London. At 541 sq ft the flat is a sensible size for a first home or a buy-to-let with easy access to the Elizabeth Line, Canary Wharf and central London.
Running costs and local context: the property uses electric room heaters (no communal gas), which can be more expensive than gas central heating. Service charges are around £2,400 pa and ground rent is £250 pa; council tax is described as cheap. The wider area is very deprived and crime is average —buyers should factor local socioeconomic conditions into their plans.
The lease is extremely long (977 years) and the building is modern (circa 1996–2002), so there is limited immediate refurbishment risk to the fabric. Overall this apartment will suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a well-located, low-upkeep London base, provided you accept electric heating and the stated service charge.
