Set on the second floor of a boutique gated development (c.2016), this two-bedroom apartment offers modern, well-proportioned living in the heart of Shoreditch. The open-plan reception has floor-to-ceiling south-facing glazing and a Juliette balcony overlooking Rivington Street, bringing generous daylight into the principal living space. The fitted kitchen includes integrated AEG appliances and a compact, efficient layout suitable for everyday cooking and entertaining.
Both bedrooms are double in size and positioned to the rear for relative calm, each with built-in storage. The apartment spans approximately 683 sqft — modest for a two-bedroom but efficiently arranged. The long lease (approx. 240 years) and recent construction reduce near-term maintenance uncertainty compared with older stock.
Location is the apartment’s major draw: a five-minute walk to Old Street with Liverpool Street and Shoreditch High Street also easily reached, putting central London transport and tech/creative hubs close at hand. The surrounding area offers a wide choice of restaurants, cafes, galleries and services typical of Shoreditch’s vibrant urban scene.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the property sits in an area recorded as having very high crime and is in a broadly deprived ward, which may affect resale perception and living experience. There is no private outdoor space, council tax is above average, and there is a small ground rent of £250. The apartment is best suited to buyers prioritising central location, modern finish and transport links over quiet suburban amenities.
