Set on the 16th floor, this modern one-bedroom flat offers a straightforward rental or first-home proposition in Aldgate. The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen deliver low-maintenance living and good natural light, while the double bedroom includes fitted storage for practical everyday use.
Practical building features include double glazing and community heating; the property was built between 2007–2011 and sits within a mixed-use central location a few steps from Aldgate East station. At about 497 sq ft, the layout is efficient for a single occupant or couple and suits buy-to-let or city-living buyers looking for transport links and local amenities.
There are important considerations: the flat is leasehold, so buyers should confirm lease length, ground rent and service charges before committing. The neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with a very high crime rate, so factor this into rental demand, insurance and personal security decisions. Lift dependence on high floors is typical — check lift service arrangements and any maintenance liabilities.
Overall, this apartment balances modern fittings and excellent transport access with central‑London urban realities. It will suit an investor seeking straightforward, low‑maintenance stock or a buyer prioritising connectivity and contemporary living over quiet suburbia.
