Ground-floor one-bedroom with private garden
A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment with a private garden and its own off-street parking space, set in a purpose-built block close to Surrey Quays and Canada Water stations. The flat’s layout is traditional and efficient, offering around 384 sq ft of living space that suits a first home or a buy-to-let aimed at professionals working in Canary Wharf or the West End.
The property benefits from a very long lease (999 years from 1991) and a predictable service charge of £1,610 a year, which includes building insurance and communal maintenance. Transport links are a strong selling point: Surrey Quays Overground and Canada Water Jubilee Line are both walkable, giving straightforward access across London.
Buyers should note the apartment’s small overall size and modest room count, and the area records above-average crime levels. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow — important for home working — and the service charge is relatively high for the footprint. These are factual trade-offs against the garden, parking and excellent connectivity.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom for a first-time buyer or investor wanting a low-maintenance London base with private outdoor space and secure parking. It suits someone prioritising location and convenience over large internal space or high-spec finishes.
