This bright one-bedroom penthouse offers 502 sq ft of contemporary living with a private wrap-around balcony and direct views over the Limehouse Cut. Floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-plan kitchen/living area create a light-filled, airy space ideal for a single buyer or young couple wanting a low-maintenance city base. Finished to a modern standard with integrated appliances and wood flooring, the apartment is chain-free and EWS1 compliant.
The building provides practical extras: concierge service, communal roof terrace and excellent transport links. Westferry and Limehouse DLR are a short walk away, Canary Wharf two stops, and the Elizabeth Line within easy reach — making central London commutes straightforward. The property has a peppercorn ground rent and an exceptionally long lease (1071 years).
Buyers should note the relatively high annual service charge (c. £3,430) and that heating is via a community scheme, which can affect running costs and control. The wider area is an inner-city, mixed-employment neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime and area deprivation indicators; this is reflected in local pricing and may influence resale or rental demand.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a ready-to-live-in, well-located one-bed with strong transport links and long lease security. It offers immediate convenience and rental potential, but budget for service charges and factor local area characteristics into long-term plans.
