This one-bedroom apartment offers 493 sq ft of practical, move-in-ready accommodation on the edge of Whitechapel and Shoreditch. The separate, recently fitted kitchen and bright living room create comfortable daily living in a compact footprint, suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let purchaser wanting immediate occupation.
The property benefits from a long lease (139 years remaining), low ground rent (£10), double glazing and mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the home well suited to remote working, while Whitechapel station and local buses provide quick links into the City, Canary Wharf and the Elizabeth Line.
Be aware of a few material considerations: the surrounding area records higher crime and marked social deprivation, and the building dates from the 1950s–1960s with cavity walls likely uninsulated, so buyers should budget for any energy-efficiency improvements. The apartment is modest in size, so storage planning is recommended for larger households.
Overall this is a practical, well-located starter home or rental unit offering immediate use and strong transport access, but purchasers should factor in local-area challenges and potential upgrade costs to improve insulation and long-term running costs.
