This is one-bedroom flat complete with south-facing balcony, found on the second floor of the Alexandra & Ainsworth Estate. That was built in the late 1960s and its standing architecturally has led to a rare Grade II* listing by English Heritage. Not bad for one-time social housing.

Of course, these days many of these units are being snapped up by private buyers who have fallen for its brutalist charm. The downside of wanting to do that is the financing. Most, if not all lenders are refusing to offer mortgages on this estate right now. So if you want to buy, you will need access to funds in other ways, not so easy.
