Summary - Flat 2 White House, 34, Fortescue Avenue E8 3QB
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Contemporary industrial flat moments from green space and fast transport links.
One double bedroom with open-plan living and kitchen
A stylish one-bedroom apartment in London Fields that combines modern industrial character with practical, energy-efficient features. The open-plan living space has exposed brick and large windows, creating an airy, social hub for cooking, dining and relaxing. The bedroom is a calm double-room retreat with good natural light and simple, contemporary finishes.
Practical positives include an EPC B rating and an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating, which should keep running costs lower than typical electric systems. The flat sits on a long lease (approximately 113 years) and offers quick access to London Fields Overground and local bus routes, putting central and East London within easy reach.
Buyers should note several material drawbacks: the building has an EWS1 B2 rating, indicating fire-safety remediation may be required by some lenders or buyers; service charges are relatively high (around £4,000 pa) with an annual ground rent of about £500; and the local area records very high crime and marked deprivation despite its popular, vibrant character. These factors affect suitability for some mortgage options and long-term running costs.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-live-in, characterful London pad close to green space and transport. It offers immediate lifestyle appeal but requires realistic budgeting for service costs and any future communal remediation work.
