Character-filled two-bed flat with high ceilings and excellent transport links.
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment in converted Gothic Revival church
Set within a converted Gothic Revival church, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment combines character features with practical urban living. Tall arched windows and high ceilings create a light, airy feel; the reception is a comfortable, versatile space. At 672 sq ft the layout is efficient, with a separate kitchen and two double bedrooms suited to city life.
Practical details favour buyers seeking a straightforward purchase: a long lease of approximately 151 years, low ground rent (£75/year) and council tax band C. Transport links are excellent and a wide range of shops, markets and amenities are within easy walking distance, making day-to-day life convenient.
Buyers should note the property uses electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation. The annual service charge is significant (£3,331.20) and the local area records higher crime and deprivation levels—factors to weigh alongside the location benefits.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or couple looking for a distinctive home in East London who are comfortable with electric heating and an active city environment. There is modest scope to modernise finishes and improve energy performance, which could increase comfort and long-term value.
