Set on the fourth floor of a modern canal-side block, this one-bedroom flat offers 457 sq ft of well-laid-out living space and a private balcony with canal views. The open-plan reception and kitchen create a bright, flexible room for day-to-day living and working from home. The double bedroom includes built-in storage and the bathroom is contemporary. The development benefits from secure entry, lift access and bike storage.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (984 years), chain-free sale and fast broadband — features that appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors alike. Council tax costs are described as affordable and the property sits in a low-crime, well-connected part of East London with Haggerston Overground and good bus routes nearby. Shoreditch Park, cafés and canal-side walking routes are all within easy reach.
Be aware of a few material points: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can affect comfort and running costs. The flat is leasehold with a small ground rent of £250 and is located in an area classified as deprived; local services and socioeconomic indicators vary across the wider neighbourhood. The apartment is a modern 2007+ build with double glazing, so major structural overhaul is unlikely, but buyers should check communal service charges and confirm heating costs before committing.
Overall, this compact apartment suits a buyer seeking an entry point into the N1 market, a rental purchase with strong local demand, or someone wanting a secure, low-maintenance urban base with attractive canal views and immediate access to Shoreditch’s amenities.
