Set within a converted Victorian school, this duplex apartment offers an unusually generous 1,096 sq ft of internal space and dramatic double-height living. Bright, exposed brick volumes and a mezzanine-level kitchen-diner create a loft-like feel ideal for entertaining or flexible home-working. Two bedrooms sit across the split levels, while large windows draw in consistent natural light.
Practical benefits include two gated, allocated off-street parking spaces — a rare find in this part of East London — plus share of freehold ownership and an exceptionally long lease (circa 957 years). Residents also have access to a communal rooftop garden that provides outside amenity and city views, compensating for the lack of a private garden.
Be candid about maintenance and running costs: the building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls (insulation assumed absent), so future retrofit or insulation work could be needed. The property has one large bathroom only, and the communal service charge is around £2,300 per year. These factors are important for budgeting and long-term energy costs.
Well placed for Bethnal Green and Mile End stations and a short walk to Victoria Park, this home suits a first-time buyer or professional couple seeking generous, characterful living in a central, well-connected location. Chain-free sale simplifies a quick move, while the apartment’s size and layout also present clear rental or resale potential in East London.
