Approx 386 sq ft — compact city flat

Communal courtyard provides outside space
Electric storage heaters — potential high running costs
Solid brick walls assumed with no insulation
Above-average local crime; area classed as deprived
Excellent transport links (Whitechapel, Stepney Green, Crossrail)
Bright, compact and full of period character, this two-bedroom flat occupies approximately 386 sq ft in a red-brick mansion block built in 1894. The layout includes a separate kitchen, a comfortably sized reception room and a bathroom. High ceilings and original arched windows give the home character and town-centre atmosphere.
The property is a practical choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking strong transport links. Whitechapel and Stepney Green stations are within easy reach and Crossrail access improves connectivity across London. The communal courtyard provides private outside space rare for central locations.
Practical considerations: the building has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation and the property is heated by electric storage heaters, so running costs and comfort could be improved. The local area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived, so buyers should weigh safety and long-term neighbourhood change when deciding.
On the positive side, the flat comes with a very long lease (998 years) and low council tax, reducing ownership costs. There is clear scope to modernise the kitchen and heating to add value, making this a sensible purchase for someone prepared to upgrade a compact central flat.
