A compact two-bedroom apartment with a separate study, located on the second floor of a mid-20th-century block. At about 594 sqft it suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable London entry point with practical space and an outdoor balcony. Allocated off-street parking and quick walks to Westferry DLR and West India Quay make commuting to Canary Wharf and the City straightforward.
Important practical points are clear: the flat is leasehold with 89 years remaining, an annual service charge of around £1,900 (including buildings insurance) and a nominal ground rent of £10. The building is solid brick, likely with limited wall insulation, and the construction era (1950–66) means some elements may require updating over time. Broadband and mobile signal are good, and flood risk is low.
The wider neighbourhood is inner-city cosmopolitan with many local amenities and excellent transport links, but it is in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics. This makes the property attractive for buyers prioritising commuter convenience and rental potential, but those seeking quieter, higher‑value residential streets should note the local social and safety context.
Overall this is an affordable, well-located home with short-term convenience and medium-term refurbishment potential. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and consider lease length when planning long-term investment or mortgage options.
