Set within a striking Edwardian corner building in the heart of Shoreditch, this two-bedroom apartment offers circa 891 sq ft of contemporary living with a rare private terrace. The open-plan kitchen/reception benefits from floor-to-ceiling glazing, abundant natural light and direct access to the outdoor space — ideal for entertaining or city-side relaxation. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and there is a second double bedroom plus a modern family bathroom.
The location is a major selling point: Old Street and Liverpool Street stations are within easy walking distance, placing the Square Mile, Tech City and Shoreditch’s bars, restaurants and markets on your doorstep. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support busy professional lifestyles and make the property suitable for home working or rental occupation.
Practical considerations are clear and disclosed. The flat is leasehold with about 103 years remaining; the annual service charge is c. £6,000 (above average) and ground rent c. £250. There’s no private parking and the building sits on active city streets, reflected in a very high local crime score and an expensive council tax band. Buyers should allow for ongoing service costs and urban living noise when budgeting.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer seeking a central, lifestyle-led home or an investor targeting strong rental demand from professionals. The apartment’s size, terrace and transport links are compelling, but the higher running costs and urban location are material factors to weigh before viewing.
