Set within a Victorian mansion block on Wilmot Street, this chain-free two-bedroom flat offers generous rooms and character details across circa 778 sq ft. The apartment sits on the first floor and benefits from a separate kitchen/dining area, a large reception room and a small balcony — a rare find in this part of E2.
The long lease (approx. 959 years) and low ground rent make tenure straightforward; however the property is leasehold and has an above-average annual service charge of £5,715.24. Internally the home is bright with double glazing and gas central heating, but some fixtures and finishes appear dated and could benefit from cosmetic updating.
Location is a primary draw: excellent public transport links (Bethnal Green tube and Overground within walking distance), easy access to markets, parks and an active local high street. Note the wider area is an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood with very high crime levels and pockets of deprivation — important factors for buyers to consider.
This flat will suit first-time buyers or investors who prioritise space, location and long lease security, and who are prepared to budget for updating and to accept higher service charges and inner-city neighbourhood characteristics.
