Second-floor 1-bed flat with private balcony
Light-filled and well laid out, this second-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an accessible entry into E1 living. The open-plan reception and sleek fitted kitchen create a sociable, modern space that opens onto a private balcony — ideal for fresh air and canal-side views a short walk away.
Set within a secure gated development built in the early 2000s, the flat benefits from double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The generous double bedroom and smart bathroom suit a professional or couple seeking a low-maintenance home close to Stepney Green, Mile End Park and transport links.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold and heated by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs than gas central heating. The surrounding ward is classified as deprived, so local investment and amenity quality vary across the area despite very low crime and many nearby services.
Overall this 530 sq ft apartment is a practical, modern starter home or buy-to-let prospect in an inner-city location. Its secure setting, balcony and proximity to green space and good schools make it a strong option for first-time buyers or investors comfortable with leasehold ownership and electric heating.
