Set on a quiet street in Spitalfields, this one-bedroom flat offers a bright, modern living space ideal for a first home or city base. The open-plan reception and kitchen benefit from large windows and sliding doors that flow onto a private balcony, extending the living area and bringing in abundant natural light.
The double bedroom includes built-in storage and a Juliette balcony, while contemporary finishes, double glazing and gas central heating ensure comfort and low immediate maintenance. At 506 sq ft, the apartment feels generous for a one-bed in this postcode, and its 113-year lease gives long-term security.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold with a substantial annual service charge of £2,009 and ground rent of £300. Council Tax sits at Band E. Broadband in the area is reported very slow and local crime levels are very high — factors to check for lifestyle or rental plans. Transport links are strong, with Hoxton and Old Street stations nearby and Spitalfields Market within walking distance, making this a convenient central-city option.
