Large ground-floor one-bed with private patio near Brick Lane — long lease, strong location..
780 sq ft ground-floor one-bedroom with private rear courtyard
Set on Cheshire Street, moments from Brick Lane and Shoreditch High Street station, this unusually large one-bedroom ground-floor property offers 780 sq ft of flexible living in the heart of East London. A generous open-plan reception and newly fitted contemporary kitchen open onto a private rear courtyard — rare outside space for the area — making it well suited to a couple or first-time buyer seeking lifestyle and rental potential.
The lease is exceptionally long at 974 years and ground rent is minimal at £100 per annum, giving long-term certainty. Service charges average £3,703.50 per year (includes water rates) and council tax is Band D; budget accordingly. Heating is gas boiler with radiators and the property benefits from double glazing installed before 2002.
Location is a major draw: cafés, markets and nightlife on your doorstep, plus excellent transport links including Shoreditch High Street Overground, Liverpool Street and multiple bus routes. That proximity commands strong rental demand and convenience but also brings a busy urban environment.
Be frank about the downsides: the immediate area records high crime and wider indicators show local deprivation, which may affect resale or family-oriented buyers. The layout is traditional and currently divided; buyers may want to reconfigure spaces to maximise the living area. Overall, this is a spacious, long-lease London opportunity with strong location benefits and some urban trade-offs to weigh.
