This compact one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Longbow Apartments offers a practical first step onto the London property ladder. The open-plan living area with fitted kitchen opens onto a full-width patio, giving usable outdoor space in a city setting and good natural light. At about 408 sq ft, the layout is efficient and suited to single buyers or couples seeking low-maintenance city living.
The development benefits from excellent transport connections and local amenities, including shops, cafés and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The property has 220 years remaining on a long lease, council tax band C, and a modest ground rent of £150 per year. Heating is via a community scheme and an annual service charge of around £1,400 covers communal maintenance.
Buyers should note material points clearly: the apartment is small and on the ground floor, which limits privacy and may affect natural ventilation compared with upper levels. The communal heating scheme and service charge are ongoing costs that purchasers should factor into affordability calculations. The wider area is classified as deprived, though crime levels are reported as low and transport links are strong.
Overall this flat represents a competitively priced entry into E3, with good rental or owner-occupier potential for someone seeking convenience and low upkeep. Prospective buyers are advised to view early and to obtain surveys and checks on building services and communal arrangements before committing.
