This well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment occupies the second floor of a contemporary development on Westland Place, offering about 770 sqft of open-plan city living. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a dual-aspect layout deliver balanced daylight, and a private balcony extends the living space — good for entertaining or relaxing after work. The building includes lift access, secure entry and bike storage, convenient for everyday London life.
The flat is move-in ready for many buyers and benefits from a very long lease (circa 979 years) and an EWS1 certificate suitable for lending. Situated between Shoreditch and Regent’s Canal with Old Street nearby, the location provides excellent transport links, plentiful cafés, restaurants and green spaces — an attractive choice for first-time buyers seeking lifestyle and resale potential.
There are notable running costs to consider: service charges are around £6,397.32 pa (inclusive of heating and hot water) and ground rent is £300 pa, with council tax band and service charge described as above average. Heating is supplied via a community scheme rather than an individual boiler, so buyers should check how that affects bills and control.
Practical considerations include no private garden and a local area profile showing above-average crime and a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood — factors that may influence suitability depending on buyer priorities. Overall this is a low-maintenance, well-located apartment offering long-lease security and good natural light, best suited to city professionals or first-time buyers prioritising location over private outdoor space.
