This very large two-bedroom apartment (approx. 1,304 sq ft) is arranged with an open-plan living space and two private balconies overlooking the canal and distant stadium. Generous room proportions, abundant natural light from large windows and a well-specified kitchen make the reception ideal for family living and entertaining.
Practical conveniences include concierge service, lift access, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and long leasehold security (approx. 137 years remaining). The building is EWS1 compliant and was constructed c.2007–2011, so the property benefits from modern construction standards and double glazing.
Location is a major selling point: waterside calm on the edge of Fish Island with fast routes to Hackney Wick, Stratford and Victoria Park. Several well-regarded state schools are nearby and public transport (Overground and multiple rail/Underground links) gives easy access across London.
Important considerations: heating is electric (room heaters) which can mean higher running costs compared with gas systems. The property is leasehold with a ground rent of £350 (average) and a moderate council tax band. The area records very high crime levels statistically—prospective buyers should factor this into safety and insurance decisions.
