Set on the seventh floor of a purpose-built block on Columbia Road, this bright one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-presented home for a first-time buyer or investor. Large east-facing windows and a private balcony bring strong natural light and city views into the generous reception, creating an airy feel despite the modest footprint. The interior is tidy with laminate floors and a separate fitted kitchen, ready to move into.
Practical running costs are straightforward: the service charge covers heating and hot water and the block has had recent upgrades, including new double glazing and an improved heating system. At around 517 sq ft the layout suits a single occupant or couple seeking central living close to Shoreditch amenities and excellent transport links to Old Street and Liverpool Street.
Important considerations are factual and should guide your decision. The flat is leasehold with about 89 years remaining, which may affect mortgage options and future costs. The surrounding area records high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which buyers should weigh against the location benefits. The balcony is small and the overall accommodation is compact, so buyers wanting larger space should note the limited footprint.
For buyers prioritising central living, strong natural light, low immediate maintenance, and easy commuting, this property offers good potential. Investors may appreciate the rental appeal from nearby universities and tech hubs; owner-occupiers will value proximity to the Columbia Road Flower Market and local cafes. Assess lease and area factors carefully when comparing this apartment to alternatives.
