A bright one-bedroom first-floor apartment in a secure gated development close to the River Thames and local transport links. The open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen and generous double bedroom makes this a straightforward, low-effort home for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating, and an allocated off-street parking space.
Practical running costs are clear: an average service charge of £2,076 and a small ground rent of £120 are payable. The tenure is leasehold with a very long lease stated (approx. 970 years) though another note lists 104 years remaining—prospective buyers should check the exact figure during due diligence. Council tax is described as cheap and the property has no flood risk.
The apartment’s condition is modern and move-in ready with neutral décor, making it simple to personalise or rent out quickly. The location is a major asset: low local crime, excellent mobile and fast broadband, nearby schools (several rated Good or Outstanding), and easy access to Woolwich and the Elizabeth Line for city commuting.
Drawbacks to consider are the ongoing service charge, the small annual ground rent, and the lease-length discrepancy which requires clarification. Overall, this flat suits a buyer seeking a secure, low-maintenance riverside apartment with reliable transport links and clear rental potential.
