1 bedroom flat for sale

This serene one-bedroom apartment lies in the heart of east London, a short walk from the incomparable expanses of Victoria Park. It is filled with light from generous full-height windows and has a private balcony with leafy treetop views and room for growing potted plants and herbs.



The Tour



This first-floor apartment forms part of a neat terrace on Chisenhale Road. A timber-framed door with a fanlight forms the apartment’s private entrance.



Inside, a staircase ascends to a versatile, open-plan living space on the first floor, suffused with light from large windows that stretch across one wall. From here, a glazed door opens to the balcony. Fitted open shelves fitted to a dusky pink provide plenty of space for books.



In the kitchen, smooth plywood cabinetry is topped with stainless steel work surfaces. Appliances include an oven with a gas hob and a dishwasher. A sash window draws in light, and more open shelving provides space for spices and cookbooks.



A peaceful double bedroom is at the front of the plan, its walls washed in pastel blue. A sash window looks out toward the street below, and there is fitted storage. In the bathroom, pink marble tiling adorns the floor and countertop, and a large bathtub has a rainfall shower overhead.



Outdoor Space



A private balcony with white-painted brickwork extends from the living space, with views across neighbouring gardens. It has room for a table and chairs and plenty of potted plants.



The Area



There is much to explore in this pocket of east London, from stalwart local establishments to exciting new openings. Local favourites include The Lord Tredegar, Mae + Harvey, Breadery and People’s Wine Roman Road. Slightly further afield to the east are Polentina and Inis. Mexican Seoul is a short walk away, serving Mexican/Korean-inspired street food alongside a natural wine list curated by Leyton’s beloved Dina.



The Chisenhale Gallery and the Young V&A Museum are both nearby. The independent Genesis Cinema in Whitechapel is a long-standing institution showing blockbuster and arthouse films alike.



Victoria Park is an 11-minute walk away. Its 200 acres of green space encompasses a vast boating lake, several activity spaces, tennis courts and the ever-popular Pavilion café at the heart of the park. There is also an excellent food market in the park on Saturdays and Sundays. Victoria Park Village lies beyond the park and is home to the likes of Bruno, Pophams, The Hawke, and My Neighbours the Dumplings.



Mile End station is around a 19-minute walk from the house and runs Central, District and Hammersmith and City lines. It provides a quick connection to Whitechapel station, where the Elizabeth line runs services to Heathrow Airport in around 40 minutes.
