Period charm, long lease and communal gardens in the heart of Whitechapel.
Long lease — 151 years remaining
Well-presented two-bedroom flat overlooking Ford Square, combining period charm with modern interiors. The apartment offers a bright, generously proportioned reception room, separate fitted kitchen with exposed brick detail, two good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom — all arranged on a practical linear layout. Access to attractive communal gardens and bicycle storage adds outdoor space rarely found at this price in central Whitechapel.
Practical strengths include a long lease (151 years), no onward chain and convenient proximity to Whitechapel Station for rapid cross-London links. At 748 sq ft the flat is larger than many central one-bed alternatives, making it suitable for first-time buyers seeking space or investors wanting a well-located rental. Council tax is described as affordable and the building is managed by a residents’ right-to-manage company.
Be aware of a few material points: annual service charge is £2,703.15 and broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may matter for home workers; the immediate area is in a deprived classification with average crime levels. The property has one bathroom for two bedrooms and will appeal to buyers who value location and character over new-build conveniences. Viewings are recommended to assess finish and layout in person.
