Summary - PHILLIP HOUSE FLAT 12 HENEAGE STREET LONDON E1 5LW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Stylish, move-in-ready two-bedroom near Shoreditch and Liverpool Street.
Top-floor, southeast aspect floods rooms with natural light
Freshly renovated and set on the top floor of a gated development in Spitalfields, this bright two-bedroom apartment suits style-conscious first-time buyers seeking a compact city base. The southeast aspect and large Crittall-style windows flood the open-plan living area with light, while warm wooden floors and a tasteful kitchen with a Smeg oven give a contemporary, move-in-ready feel.
At about 519 sq ft the layout is efficiently used: two adaptable bedrooms (one currently styled as a walk-in wardrobe), a modern bathroom, and an airy open-plan reception. A shared sun terrace offers outdoor space and distant city views in the evening, a rare asset for a central flat.
Practical strengths include a long lease of c.142 years, low ground rent (£50 pa) and a modest annual service charge (£1,355 pa). Transport links are excellent with Liverpool Street and Aldgate East within easy walking distance, and the area is rich in shops, markets, and eateries — ideal for those who want the full London lifestyle on their doorstep.
Be candid about suitability: the flat is small and best for buyers who prioritise location over generous internal space. The neighbourhood records very high crime and high deprivation statistics; buyers should factor that into safety and insurance considerations. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and walls are likely uninsulated, though windows are double glazed. Overall this is a stylish, chain-free city apartment offering low-running costs, long lease security, and strong local amenities, suited to first-time purchasers or investors wanting a central London footprint.
