Set on the fifth floor of the Lock Building, this two-bedroom apartment offers practical city living with a small balcony overlooking the Bow Back Rivers. The open-plan lounge and kitchen create a light, social space, while the master bedroom benefits from an ensuite. Lift access and secure communal entry make daily life straightforward.
The property is offered chain-free with a 105-year lease remaining and an EPC rating of B. Its Stratford location places Pudding Mill Lane station, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Westfield within easy reach — strong transport and amenity links for commuters and first-time buyers.
There are notable ongoing costs and considerations: the service charge is relatively high at £4,560 per year and ground rent is £476 with index-linked reviews. Heating is by wall-mounted electric heaters, which can mean higher energy bills than gas-heated homes. The building and area have a medium flood risk and the neighbourhood is classified as deprived, factors buyers should weigh alongside the location benefits.
Overall, this well-presented, chain-free flat suits buyers seeking a compact two-bedroom home or a buy-to-let in a well-connected Stratford address. Confirm service charge history, ground-rent review terms and insurance/maintenance arrangements as part of your legal checks.
