Bright ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in Charrington Tower, a short walk from Canary Wharf and Blackwall DLR. The open-plan reception/kitchen benefits from large floor-to-ceiling glazing that faces planted communal greenery, giving good natural light to the main living space. Engineered wood flooring, built-in shelving and contemporary finishes present a move-in-ready interior suited to city living.
Residents enjoy on-site amenities including a gym, pool and 24-hour concierge, alongside fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical benefits for professionals or investors seeking lettable appeal. The long lease (977 years) removes a common leasehold concern and the apartment's compact layout is efficient for singles or couples. Service charge and ground rent apply, reflecting the building's communal facilities.
Notable practical points: this is a ground-floor unit with no private garden or notable long-distance views; the apartment is small at approximately 499 sq ft. Service charge is above average and ground rent is payable, which will affect running costs. Heating is provided via a community scheme rather than an independent boiler.
Overall this is a convenient, contemporary inner-city flat that suits a first-time buyer wanting proximity to Canary Wharf or an investor targeting strong rental demand. Buyers should weigh the higher service charges and ground-floor location against the long lease, on-site facilities and excellent transport links.
