Sixth-floor one-bedroom with private balcony and lift access
This sixth-floor one-bedroom flat in Canning Town offers excellent transport links and practical communal amenities. Positioned within a five-minute walk of Canning Town Jubilee/DLR station (Zone 2) and close to the Elizabeth Line at Custom House, it provides fast links into Canary Wharf and the City — a clear appeal for commuters and first-time buyers.
The apartment includes a private balcony, lift access, on-site concierge and double glazing. Central gas heating (untested) and an EPC rating of C indicate reasonable energy performance for the building’s mid‑century construction. The 120-year lease and low ground rent are positive tenure features; service charge is approximately £1,200 per year.
Buyers should note material local and building issues plainly. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime; this may affect long-term resale or rental demand. The building is a 1950s–1960s system-built block with walls assumed uninsulated and double glazing pre-2002; some cosmetic or thermal improvements could be needed.
Overall this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom with commuter convenience and communal services. It suits a first-time buyer looking for value in Zone 2 or an investor seeking a rental property, provided they accept local area challenges and potential improvement costs.
