South-facing large private balcony with wide 8th-floor views
Bright, move-in ready two-bedroom apartment on the eighth floor with a large south-facing private balcony and sweeping city views. The open-plan living space, modern kitchen and two bathrooms give comfortable, low-maintenance living ideal for first-time buyers or commuting professionals. Chain-free and immaculately presented, the flat feels ready to enjoy from day one.
Practical credentials are strong: a long lease (approximately 245 years), nearby Devons Road DLR for fast links to Canary Wharf and Bank, and on-site residents’ amenities including secure entry, bike storage and a shared workspace. The apartment is a sensible size at around 667 sq ft and benefits from warm wood flooring in living areas and good natural light.
Buyers should note the running costs and management specifics. Service charge is approximately £2,600 per year and ground rent around £400 per year; heating is provided via a community scheme which can limit individual control and may affect bills. The surrounding area is inner-city and classified as deprived, with average crime levels — though it offers abundant local shops, cafés, parks and several Ofsted-rated good schools.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat that suits buyers seeking strong transport links and low-upfront fuss. It offers clear investment or owner-occupier appeal, but factor in service charges, community heating and the urban local-area characteristics when deciding to view.
