Set back on a quiet close, this bright two-bedroom flat offers comfortable living with a private balcony and generous reception room. The apartment is well presented with a modern fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom, ready for immediate occupation. Its 684 sq ft layout suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward accommodation in east London.
Practical details include double glazing (installation date unknown), a mains gas boiler with radiators, and an 88-year lease. Service charge and ground rent are low relative to local norms, but the limited remaining lease term is an important long-term consideration for buyers and mortgage lenders.
Location is a key strength: moments from Canning Town DLR for quick city links, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Several highly rated primary schools lie close by, and local amenities and public transport are within easy walking distance. Note the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may influence local investment dynamics and resale expectations.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and presents typical period features and proportions. The apartment requires no immediate works but buyers should be aware of the shorter lease and factor future maintenance or lease-extension costs into their decision.
