- Short walk to Whitechapel station and multiple transport links

- Leasehold with 94 years remaining
- Service charge approximately £3,333 per year
- Electric storage heating; likely higher energy costs

Set on a corner mansion block in central Whitechapel, this bright two-bedroom flat offers an efficient 555 sq ft layout with a generous reception room and large windows that flood the space with light. The apartment has a modern fitted kitchen, built-in storage and painted brick finishes that retain period character while offering a ready-to-live-in feel for a first home.
The location is the standout: a short walk to Whitechapel station (Elizabeth, Hammersmith & City and District lines) and plentiful local cafés, parks and amenities. Stepney City Farm and Weavers Fields provide nearby green space, and strong public transport links make commuting into central London straightforward.
Buyers should note the practical points: the flat is leasehold with 94 years remaining and a comparatively high annual service charge of £3,333. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls likely have limited insulation, which can mean higher running costs. Broadband speeds are reported slow and the immediate area records very high crime levels, factors to weigh alongside the location and price.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable central London base with scope to personalise, or investors looking for a tenant-ready flat near major transport hubs. The apartment’s compact, regular layout also supports straightforward reconfiguration or cosmetic improvement where desired.
