A bright, modern one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Spitalfields, just minutes from Liverpool Street Station. The fourth-floor flat (478 sq ft) offers a light-filled reception, integrated kitchen, double bedroom with built-in storage and contemporary bathroom. Built c.2003–2006, it benefits from double glazing, boiler-fed heating with underfloor heating and a long lease (981 years).
This location is a major selling point: excellent transport links (Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan lines and Elizabeth Line) and immediate access to restaurants, shops and nightlife around Spitalfields, Brick Lane and Shoreditch. The apartment suits a first-time buyer or a commuter professional seeking a low-maintenance, city-centre base with strong rental appeal.
Buyers should note ongoing costs and local conditions. Service charges are around £3,000 per year with a £300 ground rent; council tax is above average. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and local crime levels are very high—factors that will affect living experience and some tenants’ preferences. The property is presented in contemporary condition but offers limited internal space, so storage and layout should be considered.
Overall this is a well-located, modern flat with long lease security and excellent transport links. It offers good potential as a convenient city home or a lettable asset for investors, provided you factor in running costs and local amenity issues.
