Summary - 81 BARNARDO GARDENS LONDON E1 0LW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, central home with balcony and quick City links.
Duplex layout with private balcony and city/Docklands views
This two-bedroom duplex apartment on Barnardo Street offers a bright, well-proportioned living space across 713 sq ft with a private balcony and pleasant views. The contemporary kitchen and well-presented interior make it move-in ready for a first home or buy-to-let purchase. Secure entry and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity suit modern living and working-from-home needs.
Practical positives include a mains-gas boiler with radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and convenient transport: Shadwell Station and routes into the City and Docklands are within easy reach. Nearby primary and secondary schools include highly rated picks, making the area workable for families starting out.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property is leasehold, constructed c.1950–66 using system-built walls with assumed no insulation—this can affect energy efficiency and future bills. The main bedroom has a low ceiling and is small; there is a single bathroom. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with average crime levels, which may concern some purchasers.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking central access and a ready-to-live-in home with scope to improve energy performance over time, or an investor looking for a well-located rental asset. Factor in leasehold terms and possible retrofit costs when assessing value.
