Summary - 19 FLAT 2 CHESHIRE STREET LONDON E2 6ER
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright, flexible ground-floor one-bed in Shoreditch — excellent transport links.
Ground-floor one-bed with large, versatile studio-style living space
Set on the ground floor of a Shoreditch address, this unusually large one-bedroom apartment offers a bright, contemporary open-plan layout that feels bigger than a typical city flat. Floor-to-ceiling windows to the south and east flood the space with light; finishes are clean and turnkey with a modern fitted kitchen and a three-piece bathroom. The flexible layout — separate kitchen/dining, generous main living area and a discrete bedroom — suits a first-time buyer seeking a comfortable home or someone wanting a live/work set-up.
Practical points make this straightforward to run: double glazing is installed, heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators, and council tax is described as affordable. The lease has about 101 years remaining. Transport links are excellent — Shoreditch High Street, Whitechapel (Elizabeth Line) and Liverpool Street are all within easy walking distance, which is a major draw for commuters and city workers.
Be clear about the drawbacks. The flat is leasehold with an average service charge around £3,000 per year, which will affect running costs. The property sits in an area with high recorded crime and higher local deprivation indices; buyers should factor local safety and community considerations into their decision. There is no private outdoor space or balcony shown, and glazing predates 2002, which may be relevant for future replacement/upgrades.
Overall this is a bright, low-maintenance urban home in a highly sought-after Shoreditch location. It will suit a buyer wanting central living with flexible use — especially those prioritising space, natural light and transport convenience — but not those who require a private garden or lower service charges.
