Top-floor apartment with private balcony and canal/park views
Set on the top floor with a private balcony, this one-bedroom apartment delivers bright open-plan living and direct views over the Hertford Union Canal and Victoria Park. The contemporary interior and double-glazed windows create a low-maintenance, modern home with a clear waterside aspect — ideal for city professionals or first-time buyers seeking a calm central base.
Practical benefits include secure underground parking, lift access, bicycle storage and a long 114-year lease. The property forms part of a recent development (post-2012) with community heating and mains gas; interiors are in good condition and ready to move into with minimal work required.
Costs to note: a regular service charge (around £2,124 pa) and a small ground rent (£200 pa) apply. The immediate neighbourhood scores as inner-city cosmopolitan but sits within a deprived area profile; crime levels are average. These factors are important for budget planning and investment yield calculations.
Location is a strong draw — waterside living beside Victoria Park, short walks to Roman Road Market, Victoria Park Village and efficient transport links at Mile End. The combination of scenic outlook, parking and proximity to amenities makes this apartment straightforward to live in or let out.
