This well‑appointed two‑bedroom lower‑ground apartment combines Victorian character with recent, thoughtful renovation to create a bright, family‑friendly home with private outdoor space. Period features — sash windows, cornices and fireplaces — sit comfortably alongside contemporary finishes, pale timber floors and a modern kitchen and bathroom. The open-plan reception opens directly onto an enclosed garden, offering a safe outdoor extension for children and entertaining.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approx. 999 years, share of freehold), double glazing, underfloor heating in the bathroom, integrated Bosch appliances and generous built‑in storage. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and streaming. The flat lies a short walk from Victoria Park and local schools rated Good to Outstanding, with Mile End station about 15 minutes on foot for quick Central, District and Hammersmith line links.
Buyers should note the property sits on the lower‑ground floor of a Victorian terrace; while dual aspects and skylights provide good light, some rooms remain below street level. The surrounding area shows higher crime and relative deprivation compared with inner‑London averages — a material local factor to consider. Council Tax is band C and the apartment benefits from a share of freehold and long lease, which reduces longer‑term ownership risk.
Overall this apartment will suit families and couples seeking a period home near Victoria Park that is move‑in ready yet offers scope to personalise. The private garden, modern systems and solid lease make it a practical purchase in a well‑connected part of E3, balanced by the need to weigh local area safety statistics.
