Set on the fourth floor of a modern development on the corner of Mare Street and Ash Grove, this one-bedroom apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an East London base. The open reception benefits from a west-facing aspect and a private balcony, bringing good natural light into the living space. The double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the apartment has useful internal storage off the entrance hall.
The property is offered as a shared ownership sale with 108 years remaining on the lease. The seller will be staircasing to 100% ownership at the same time as the sale—buyers should confirm exact purchase mechanics and running costs before committing. Heating is provided via a community mains gas scheme and the building has double glazing installed post-2002.
Location is a key strength: between Victoria Park and London Fields, and moments from Broadway Market, cafés and restaurants. London Fields and Cambridge Heath Overground stations and frequent bus routes provide excellent transport connections. Broadband and mobile signal are both strong, supporting home working or streaming.
Be clear on local context: crime levels are very high and the area is classified as deprived. These factors may affect insurance premiums, personal security choices and long-term resale expectations. For buyers focused on lifestyle and access to green space, this apartment offers a low-maintenance, well-appointed city home with clear potential to personalise the interior.
