Summary - Flat 53 Exchange Building, 132, Commercial Street E1 6NG
1 bed 2 bath Apartment
Bright, flexible central property with long lease and concierge service.
Approximately 1,139 sq ft — unusually large for a one-bedroom apartment
This exceptionally bright, newly renovated apartment offers unusually generous space for a one-bedroom layout — approximately 1,139 sq ft — with very high ceilings and floor‑to‑ceiling windows that flood the rooms with light. The current arrangement works as one bedroom with an additional reception/dining room (convertible to a second bedroom), two bathrooms and a separate modern kitchen, making it flexible for owners or tenants needing extra living or working space.
The property occupies the third floor of a modern development in the heart of Spitalfields, with a decked balcony to the rear providing a quieter outdoor retreat. Residents benefit from a 24‑hour concierge, lift access and communal courtyard gardens, and the apartment is offered chain free with a long lease of approximately 970 years. Liverpool Street and Shoreditch High Street stations are within easy walking distance, giving fast links across the city and the new Elizabeth Line.
Practical running costs and local context are important to note. The service charge is high at £9,948pa and ground rent is £300pa; council tax is also described as expensive. The neighbourhood records a very high crime rate, which may concern some buyers despite the building’s concierge and secure communal areas. The property has an EPC rating of C and uses mains gas with boiler/radiator heating.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful apartment in a sought‑after central location suited to a buyer seeking a large one‑bed with flexible layout and strong transport links. It will particularly appeal to professionals or investors seeking a high‑profile Shoreditch address, but buyers should budget for above‑average service charges and be comfortable with the local crime statistics.
