Second-floor 1-bed with Juliet balcony and secure gated entrance
Bright second-floor apartment in a secure gated development, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking easy access to green space and transport. The reception room flows to a Juliet balcony, and a modern integrated kitchen provides a contemporary, low-maintenance feel. An allocated underground parking space is a scarce local benefit.
Practical positives include double glazing (post-2002), a 106-year lease remaining, and a modest ground rent of £150. Nearby Mile End Park, good primary and secondary schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make this a convenient city base.
Be candid about running and layout considerations: the property uses electric room heaters rather than mains gas central heating, which can increase energy costs. The flat is an average-sized 522 sq ft with a traditional layout and limited room count, so buyers wanting very large living spaces should note the footprint.
Overall this is a ready-to-live-in, low-maintenance urban flat with parking and outdoor access — suited to first-time buyers or investors wanting a London-period modern apartment close to parks and transport. The leasehold status and electric heating are the main practical points to weigh before viewing.
