Summary - COLTASH COURT, 152 FLAT 42 WHITECROSS STREET LONDON EC1Y 8QL
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright 1-bed ninth floor, long lease and close to The City.
Ninth-floor apartment with private south-facing balcony and city views
This ninth-floor one-bedroom apartment offers bright, well-proportioned living across circa 600 sq ft with a private south-facing balcony overlooking the City and Whitecross Street Market. The open-plan living and kitchen area, integrated appliances and laminate flooring create an efficient, modern feel suitable for a first home, pied-à-terre or rental asset close to The City.
Practical positives include a long lease (circa 180 years), chain-free sale, integrated kitchen appliances and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The bedroom is a generous double with fitted cupboards and there is a contemporary tiled bathroom with shower over bath.
Buyers should note material facts: the building dates from the 1950s–60s with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002—both affecting thermal performance. Service charges are approximately £1,860 p/a and ground rent about £10 p/a. The local area has higher crime levels and is classified as deprived, factors to consider for families or risk-averse purchasers.
For first-time buyers and investors, the combination of long lease, central location and south-facing balcony offers genuine appeal. However, budget for potential future energy upgrades and weigh neighbourhood safety considerations when deciding to view.
