Dual-aspect windows and modern open-plan living kitchen
Gated entrance; long lease (981 years) with low ground rent

Excellent transport links to Liverpool Street, Shoreditch, Aldgate East

Set over two floors, this two-bedroom flat offers a bright, modern interior and a flexible layout suited to first-time buyers seeking central London living. The open-plan living room with integrated kitchen and large windows creates an airy ground-floor reception, while a generous principal bedroom occupies the upper level and provides good storage potential. At about 710 sq ft the apartment feels roomy for the area and benefits from dual-aspect light and a gated entrance for added privacy.
Practical ownership features include a very long lease (981 years), an affordable service charge (£600pa) and a small ground rent (£250pa), making the running costs predictable. Transport links are excellent with Liverpool Street, Aldgate East and Shoreditch High Street nearby — ideal for commuting or city leisure. The building has double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Be clear on location-related issues: the property sits in a very deprived, high-crime inner‑city neighbourhood and is in a multicultural student area, which affects the immediate street scene and quieter hours. Broadband speeds are average and the building’s solid-brick construction likely has limited insulation, which could influence heating costs despite double glazing. These are factual concerns to weigh against the central location and comfortable interior.
Overall this is a well-presented, modern two-bedroom flat that suits buyers who prioritise central access, flexible living space and long lease security. It will particularly appeal to first-time purchasers or investors looking for a centrally located rental opportunity, provided they accept the local area context and typical inner‑city trade-offs.
