Bright open-plan flat with balcony and long lease near Jubilee Line.
Third-floor one-bedroom with 51 sqm (549 sqft) internal space
Light-filled and sensibly laid out, this third-floor one-bedroom apartment in Des Barres Court suits first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance London home. The 51 sqm (549 sqft) open-plan living area opens to a west-facing sheltered balcony; floor-to-ceiling windows and a corner position give triple-aspect light. A fitted kitchen, built-in bedroom wardrobe and a separate storage room add practical day-to-day convenience.
The building is small, secure and well insulated, with lift access and 24/7 concierge services — useful for commuters and anyone wanting straightforward urban living. Transport links are strong (Jubilee Line, rail and Thames Clipper), and the property sits within Greenwich Millennium Village with landscaped public spaces, shops, medical centre and easy walking access to North Greenwich and the river.
Costs and tenure are clear: a long lease (around 991 years), average service charge £2,400 pa and ground rent £300 pa. Heating is electric radiators and the home is double glazed; while insulation is reported as excellent, electric heating can mean higher energy bills than gas alternatives. Council tax is described as affordable.
Overall this is a practical, move-in ready one-bedroom in a quiet, well-serviced riverside development. It will suit a first-time purchaser wanting good transport links, low-maintenance communal amenities and long-term security on the lease, while buyers prioritising lower running heating costs should factor electric heating into their budgets.
