Set within a well-preserved Victorian conversion on Columbia Road, this chain-free one-bedroom apartment blends period detail with contemporary finishes. High ceilings and original cornicing create a sense of space, while recent refurbishment means the home is ready to move into with minimal immediate work. The layout includes generous fitted storage, integrated wardrobes, and an open-plan living area separated by Crittall-style doors.
Practical ownership costs include a 112-year lease, a modest ground rent of £250, and an annual service charge of £2,333. There is also a one-off contribution to the building’s reserve (sinking) fund of £2,371; the reserve balance is reported as substantial and intended for future maintenance. On-street parking permission is held, but there is no private parking space.
Location is a core selling point: Columbia Road’s flower market, independent cafés and eateries, and easy walking distance to Hoxton and Shoreditch High Street stations put central East London on the doorstep. The apartment is suited to first-time buyers or professionals seeking a compact, characterful base with excellent public transport links to the City and tech corridors.
Be aware of a few material considerations. The building’s solid brick walls are understood to have no added insulation, and the apartment has secondary glazing rather than full double glazing, which may affect heat retention and running costs. The local area records higher crime levels and significant deprivation measures; buyers should factor neighbourhood context into their decision. Broadband speeds are average for the area.
