Summary - 15 Alfred Street E3 2BE
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Chain-free, modern open-plan flat near Bow Road and DLR with city views.
Third-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with private balcony
A bright, chain-free two-bedroom apartment on the third floor offering a modern open-plan living area, private southwest-facing balcony and city views towards the City and Canary Wharf. The layout includes two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, making the flat practical for sharers or a small family.
Practical details are favourable: 139 years remaining on the lease, mains gas central heating, double glazing and an annual service charge of approximately £2,000 with ground rent £350. The property is well connected — Bow Road Underground is about 150m away and Bow Church DLR around 500m — and local green spaces include Victoria Park and Mile End Park.
Buyers should note several material considerations. The building dates from 1930–49 and the structure is described as timber frame with no assumed insulation, so further investigation of thermal performance and any retrofit costs is advisable. The wider area scores as deprived with above-average recorded crime, which may affect parking, security and resale/rental prospects. Ongoing costs (service charge, ground rent and council tax Band D) are significant for budget planning.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a ready-to-move-in, well-located home with contemporary fittings and good transport links. It offers immediate comfort and city views but also requires realistic budgeting for service charges and possible future insulation or building works.
