A delightful two bedroom first floor purpose built apartment with a West facing balcony, in a quiet residential street, close to Stepney Green Tube Station.

Our vendor's family purchased this property when it was new in 2009, this first floor apartment forms part of that new development which extended the original Osier Court to create a third entrance with 8 two bedroom apartments and 6 rooftop apartments.

This well loved home is in exceptional condition. The building and the apartment have large windows in the art deco style, so this double aspect end apartment is bright throughout. Good specification with engineered wooden floors, quality ceramic tiles, large internal doors (fire doors), white bathroom suite, white fitted kitchen, gas central heating and double glazing.

The design of these two bedroom apartments at 621 square feet works exceptionally well. This apartment benefits from being on the end of the building, so the balcony feels quite private and has a long vista along the street opposite.

The accommodation has a large bright lounge with engineered wood flooring and a good sized private West facing balcony which benefits from the foliage of the trees below (the foliage can be cut back by property management if preferred). The master bedroom faces the rear, the second double bedroom faces the front, separated by the hallway which has a large storage cupboard which houses the boiler.
The kitchen is a separate room with a window, good quality white applianced fitted kitchen and tiled floor.
The bathroom with a window has a modern white suite with a thermostatic shower over the bath, quality tiled floor and walls.
