This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Myrtle Walk offers a rare private south-facing garden and a bright, airy living space ideal for a first-time buyer seeking outdoor space in Shoreditch. The property includes an unusually large utility room, separate kitchen, and sliding doors that bring natural light into the reception. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators.
The flat sits in a quiet pedestrianised street yet is moments from Hoxton and Shoreditch High Street stations, cafes, markets and local amenities. At 48.6 sq m (approx. 523 sq ft) the internal layout is compact but efficiently arranged, and the garden provides low-maintenance outdoor living – a valuable feature in central N1.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge of £1,374 pa and a nominal ground rent of £9. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further thermal improvements may be needed. The local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation, which buyers should weigh against the location and transport benefits.
For a first-time buyer or investor, this apartment offers scope to personalise and add value while benefiting from excellent transport links and direct outdoor space. The flat is best suited to someone comfortable with a property that may benefit from updating and energy-efficiency improvements.
