Bright and contemporary, this duplex two-bedroom penthouse occupies the top two floors of a modern mid-terrace building in the heart of Spitalfields. The open-plan living/kitchen space benefits from high ceilings, large windows and generous proportions, flowing to a private roof terrace that catches city light and provides outside space for dining or relaxing. Practical comforts include underfloor heating, a second bathroom/guest WC and secure underground garage parking.
Residents have 24-hour concierge service and fast transport links via Liverpool Street and nearby bus routes, making the apartment a convenient base for central London commuting and city leisure. The long lease (c.970 years) removes a common leasehold concern and the building's recent construction gives a contemporary finish throughout.
Buyers should note this is an inner-city location within a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood and local crime levels are recorded as very high — relevant for purchasers prioritising quieter or lower-crime areas. Service charges are substantial at £12,032 per year and there is an annual ground rent of £300; factor these ongoing costs into affordability calculations.
Overall, the property suits someone seeking a stylish, low-maintenance city home with secure parking, concierge and private outdoor space — ideal for professionals who value location and modern living, and for buyers prepared to accept higher service charges and an urban setting.
