Set on the first floor above a shop on iconic Columbia Road, this one-bedroom Victorian conversion pairs original character with practical modern living. Tall sash windows and reclaimed parquet bring period charm and lots of natural light to the generous open-plan kitchen/living space that faces the lively street below.
The double bedroom sits to the rear for relative quiet and the contemporary bathroom has a walk-in shower. The flat totals about 477 sq ft with a long 999-year lease and double glazing; running costs include a roughly £1,200 annual service charge and cheap council tax.
This is a compact city home suited to a single buyer or couple wanting an East London base close to transport, excellent local schools and the famous flower market. Note there is no private outdoor space and the building sits above a commercial unit, so street noise can be a factor at weekends. The wider area shows higher crime and deprivation indices, which may influence personal safety perceptions and letting demand for some buyers.
Overall the property offers strong location appeal and period detail with straightforward modern updates, but buyers should inspect for condition, soundproofing, and consider the urban setting before committing.
