Set on the first floor of a post‑war purpose-built block, this two-bedroom flat offers a practical city base with clear transport links and riverside access. The apartment’s reception room and two generously sized bedrooms make it suitable for first-time buyers or sharers seeking space within a compact overall footprint (575 sq ft). A modern shower room and separate kitchen give move-in convenience, while a private locked storage cupboard and off-street parking are useful extras rarely found at this price.
The location is a standout: moments from Thames river walks, the Thames Clipper and within walking distance of Canada Water and Surrey Quays stations for fast links to Canary Wharf, the City and the West End. Local amenities include Surrey Docks City Farm and several well-rated primary and secondary schools, making the area attractive for growing households.
Practical considerations are straightforward and should be factored into budgets. The property is leasehold with 160 years remaining and an annual service charge of about £2,482. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which can affect running costs and may prompt future upgrade works. Council Tax is described as affordable and flood risk is very low.
Overall, this flat suits buyers who prioritise location, transport and convenience over a large footprint and who are prepared to manage the higher running costs associated with electric heating and solid-wall construction. With long lease length and useful extras (parking, storage), it presents a practical entry into SE16 ownership and scope for value improvement over time.
