Raised ground-floor studio, 384 sq ft internal space
A compact studio in Bernhard Baron House, this raised ground-floor apartment blends period character with efficient modern living. The former school’s red-brick exterior and large industrial windows give the building strong visual appeal, while the flat’s open-plan layout and fully equipped kitchen make it practical for city living.
The location is a primary selling point: Aldgate East and Shadwell stations are within easy reach, offering excellent transport links into the City and across London. Local amenities are abundant — cafes, shops, fitness facilities and riverside attractions are all nearby, and broadband and mobile signals are reported as strong.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold studio with an annual service charge of around £1,740 and ground rent of £200. Internally the space is small (384 sq ft) and best suited to single occupancy or as an investment/lock-up-and-leave pied-à-terre. Ceilings in the building are characterfully tall overall, but the apartment itself has a standard ceiling height. Double glazing is present though the installation date is unknown.
This property will suit a first-time buyer seeking a central, manageable home or an investor targeting rental demand in a well-connected central London pocket. Be prepared for ongoing service charges, leasehold costs and the compact proportions typical of a city studio.
