Set within a converted warehouse, this chain-free one-bedroom flat offers generous open-plan living with industrial character. Large factory-style windows and exposed brick create a bright, loft-like atmosphere, while a private balcony extends the living space outdoors. At roughly 538 sq ft, the layout suits a first-time buyer seeking character and low-moderate maintenance.
The building is share-of-freehold and the apartment benefits from gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). Transport links are strong, with Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath stations within walking distance and easy access to Columbia Road and Broadway Market amenities.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the building dates from the early 20th century and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no added insulation, which can affect heating efficiency. Service charge is listed at approximately £1,000 (details unknown). The local area scores as very deprived and has above-average crime rates; weigh this against the flat’s central location and investment potential.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer wanting a characterful, centrally located one-bed with good transport and market access, and who is comfortable with some period-property realities and confirming service-charge and insulation details before purchase.
