Set within a secure gated development on Richmond Road, this third-floor two-bedroom apartment offers unusually generous living space for London Fields at around 908 sq ft. The large open-plan reception and kitchen, expansive windows and wood flooring create a bright, modern interior ready for immediate occupation. Offered chain-free with vacant possession, it suits buyers wanting a straightforward move-in.
Practical strengths include lift access, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus on-street parking permission. Built in 2007, the building benefits from double glazing and contemporary finishes; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. Local life centres on London Fields park, the lido, Broadway Market and easy Overground links, which all add everyday convenience and lifestyle appeal.
Important facts and drawbacks are set out plainly. The property is leasehold (approx. 108 years remaining) with an average service charge of £2,480pa and ground rent of £300pa. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which can mean higher running costs. The wider neighbourhood is classified as an inner-city, multicultural student area with very high recorded crime and pockets of deprivation — factors to consider for resale or letting.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or professionals seeking a larger-than-average two-bedroom in a prime London Fields location who value space and a ready-to-live-in finish. Buyers seeking lower ongoing costs or a long freehold tenure should note the leasehold arrangement and electric heating when comparing options.
