Summary - GREENWICH COURT FLAT 1 CAVELL STREET LONDON E1 2BS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free, close to Elizabeth Line and communal garden.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat, approx. 500 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom ground-floor flat in a redbrick Victorian mansion block, offered chain free and with an exceptionally long lease. The apartment has period character — sash windows, boarded doors and tasteful ironmongery — and a living room that opens onto a communal garden, providing rare outdoor space for a ground-floor unit.
Practical positives include a long lease (978 years), close proximity to Whitechapel Station (Elizabeth Line) and plentiful local amenities. The gas boiler and radiators supply mains heating and the property is ready for cosmetic updating or a modest refurbishment to add value.
Notable drawbacks are its small overall size (approx. 500 sq ft), an above-average service charge (around £2,000 p.a.), and an area-wide high crime/deprivation profile that may concern some buyers. The kitchen shows signs of potential damp and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so buyers should factor possible insulation or moisture-related works into their budget.
This will suit first-time buyers or investors looking for central location, transport links and refurbishment potential rather than those needing generous internal space or a low-crime neighbourhood. Viewing recommended to assess scope for improvement and to confirm condition in person.
