Modern one-bed with balcony, rooftop terrace and easy access to parks and Hackney Wick station..
One-bedroom, 552 sq ft open-plan apartment
Light-filled one-bedroom apartment in Fish Island, set on the upper floors of a contemporary block with a private balcony that catches late-morning to evening sun. The open-plan living area and integrated kitchen maximise the apartment’s 552 sq ft, while thoughtful extras — underfloor heating, a laundry/cloakroom and built-in appliances — make the space ready to occupy.
Residents have access to a free on-site gym and a communal rooftop terrace with planting space, plus canal walks and green space nearby: Victoria Park, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Hackney Marshes are all walkable. Transport is straightforward with Hackney Wick Overground a short walk and Stratford’s retail and leisure hub within easy reach.
Practical points: the property is leasehold (246 years remaining) and offered chain-free. Service charges average £2,160pa and council tax is moderate. The development uses a community heating scheme; buyers should confirm running costs and any future service charge changes. The area is inner-city cosmopolitan with pockets of deprivation and average crime levels — typical of rapidly changing east London neighbourhoods.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-specified, ready-to-move-into home close to parks, canals and strong transport links. Its size and layout offer sensible live-in comfort or uncomplicated rental appeal in a much-sought-after location, but factor in ongoing service charges and communal heating costs when assessing value.
