1 bed Flat For Sale, Damien Street, Whitechapel, London E1

Description

Gazing down on a sea of green from its first-floor perch in Whitechapel, this one-bedroom flat has its own balcony and is walking distance from just about everything from the City to the Thames to the heart of the East End.

Brickworks Says

In a quiet modern block backing onto a communal garden, this one-bedroom flat has been cleverly arranged around an open-plan layout and sunny balcony.

The large living/kitchen/dining area offers room to work, cook, entertain or just enjoy the morning light from the full-width, east-facing balcony. It's a unique feature that makes the flat feel larger and loftier than most. There's a mid-century calm to this space—particularly the quiet bedroom with its built-in wardrobe—but with a few fanciful details: The bathroom floor with its seaside tilescape or the little book nook in the big room. Cheerful and inviting, it's a peaceful hideaway in a buzzy bit of town.

Both Shadwell and Whitechapel stations are five minutes from the flat, but there's not much need for transit options with so much close at hand. That includes all the shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and nightlife from Shoreditch to Bethnal Green to Spitalfields. Spend weekends in the East End market of your choice, or just stroll along the riverbank to Tower Bridge, the City and beyond.

The Owner Says

I’ve lived in Damien Street for nine years altogether—and almost eight in this flat. It’s been an absolute joy waking up here every day. I love the neighbourhood. It’s incredibly central; the best city farm in London is less than 15 minutes’ walk away and the Thames is around 15-20 minutes away as well. There’s a real sense of community in this street, with lots of friendly neighbours and families.

I’ve loved seeing beautiful green trees out of every window, and the huge balcony is the best i’ve seen for this type of flat in all my years in London! You get the sun until after lunch and beautiful late afternoon/evening light through the bedroom window. The living space is brilliantly laid out. I treat the big room as four distinct spaces: Kitchen and dining, office, living room and library. The flat is extremely warm and energy efficient, too.

Points To Consider

The EPC gives a current Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact Rating: C.

In the Borough of Tower Hamlets, the flat falls into Council Tax Band B (£1,149in 2021/22).

One of 18 in the block, the flat is leasehold with 92 years remaining and an annual service charge of £1,917, which includes hot water, heat, ground rent and buildings insurance.

Over the last seven years, the current owner has updated some of the electrics and plumbing, fitted a new hot-water immersion tank, replaced the kitchen worktop and installed a new toilet, sink and vanity in the bathroom. The council has also installed new double-glazing in the bedroom and resurfaced the balcony.
