Light-filled two-bedroom flat in an Art Deco purpose-built block, ideal for a first-time buyer or city commuter. Positioned on the fourth floor, the reception and bedrooms capture plenty of natural light through mid-century bay windows, and the building benefits from a gated entrance and a well-maintained communal courtyard. The property comes with a long lease (share of freehold) giving genuine ownership security.
At 548 sq ft this is a compact home with efficient rooms and an open-plan kitchen that feels bright and homely. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place, making the apartment comfortable year-round. Transport links are excellent: Aldgate East station is 0.3 miles away, Whitechapel 0.5 miles and Liverpool Street within walking distance — straightforward for City or Canary Wharf commutes.
Buyers should note material considerations: the service charge is above average (£4,016 pa), the local area records very high crime and is classified as very deprived, and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation (typical of 1930s construction). There is one bathroom and overall internal space is small, so storage and layout will suit those prioritising location over square footage.
This apartment will suit an urban first purchaser or investor seeking a well-connected, characterful flat with a secure long lease. It offers immediate move-in potential with scope for cosmetic updating and insulation improvements to boost comfort and long-term value.
