First-floor one-bedroom flat with private balcony
Well-positioned between Limehouse Station and Mile End Park, this first-floor one-bedroom flat offers a compact, low-maintenance base for city living. The apartment sits in a modern block (circa 2003–2006) with lift access, double glazing and a private balcony that extends the living area. An extended lease (169 years) and reportedly low service charges make it straightforward for long-term ownership or letting.
Inside, an efficient open-plan reception provides practical day-to-day living and useful built-in storage. The layout suits a single occupant or couple seeking easy commuting into the City or Canary Wharf; excellent mobile signal and close rail links support hybrid working. The apartment’s footprint is modest (approximately 489 sq ft) and presented as an average-sized city flat rather than a spacious home.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and ranks as very deprived; immediate surroundings include a road/rail corridor, so some noise from nearby rail infrastructure is likely. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, which may affect heavy home-working or streaming without alternative connections.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, commuter-focused property with low running costs and long lease security. It will appeal to first-time buyers or investors prioritising location, ease of ownership and rental potential, provided they accept compact internal space and local area challenges.
