Newly renovated one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment
Compact size: 387 sq ft, limited storage

A compact, newly refurbished one-bedroom apartment in a converted Victorian engineers’ workhouse, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a central pied-à-terre. The flat benefits from high ceilings, original parquet flooring in places, and an open-plan living and kitchen area that maximises the 387 sq ft layout.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (c. 974 years), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus proximity to Stepney Green, Whitechapel and Crossrail connections for easy commuting to the City, Canary Wharf and the West End. Council tax is described as cheap, and the property faces an internal communal courtyard for quieter outlooks.
Notable costs and constraints: the property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,071 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation. The area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels—factors to consider for families or buyers sensitive to local social indicators.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking central London convenience or an investor looking for a compact rental unit near major transport hubs. It’s newly renovated but compact, so buyers should expect limited storage and space; any buyers wanting greater thermal efficiency may need to budget for insulation or heating upgrades in future.
