A first floor one bedroom apartment of 488 Square feet, 45.3 square meters, with a private roof terrace in an attractive Edwardian building converted around 30 years ago, being sold for the first time.
From the outside the building is a unique blend of traditional Edwardian and Contemporary architectural styles with three modern penthouses having been added to the building in 2016.
This is one of five flats accessed from one of two entrances to the building. On the ground floor is a commercial wholesale fashion business.
This property has been recently decorated throughout.
Commercial Road is conveniently situated between the City of London and Canary Wharf. It has long been associated with the rag trade and is a diverse colourful location, just a walk into the City of London, The Tower of London, Tower Bridge and Spitalfields Market.
The accommodation:
The communal entrance with stairs to the first floor. The front door opens into the entrance hallway. The lounge is located at the front with windows and a glazed door, giving access to the private roof terrace.
The separate kitchen is fitted with appliances, with a tiled floor and a serving hatch into the lounge.
The bathroom is a good size with one of the large original sliding box sash windows a white suite with a thermostatic shower over the bath and white ceramic tiling.
The quiet double bedroom at the rear, has dual aspects with a large original sliding box sash window to the side and another window facing to the rear. There is a fitted cupboard.
The Building:
Some external repair works are planned for the building in 2025/26. The budget is of the order of £42,000 + VAT. While the buyer of this flat will benefit from these improvements, they will not be liable for the cost of these essential repairs which will be met by the Freeholder.
The estimated service charge for 2025 is £1858. As the Freeholder will continue to own the remaining 10 flats, the buyer can be assured that maintenance costs for the building are keenly managed and kept to a minimum.
Because the penthouse flats have some form of cladding, the Freeholder has commissioned a review as to what is needed in terms of an EWS1 to satisfy its legal obligations. The buyer will not be responsible for these costs or the costs of a more comprehensive investigation or remedial work if required.
Because the construction was fairly recent, it is not expected that any remedial work will be required. EWS1 surveyor should be on site week commencing 3&st of March for the preliminary survey.
Tenure: Leasehold, a new 999 year lease will be provided with a peppercorn ground rent.
Service Charge: Estimated £1858 per annum.
Ground rent: N/A
Viewing and availability: The property is vacant, viewing by appointment with the sole agent Look Property.
