Lift access, secure video entry and bike storage add practical everyday convenience.
Transport links are a clear strength: walking distance to Hackbridge mainline and nearby bus and Tramlink services for straightforward commuting into London. Residents’ off-street parking is included, and local amenities, parks and several Good-rated schools are within easy reach, making this a practical choice for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold (112 years remaining) with an annual service charge of about £2,142 and a ground rent of £200. There is no private garden and broadband and mobile signals are only average locally. The wider area is classified as having pockets of deprivation, which may affect long-term resale values in parts of the neighbourhood.
Overall, this is a well-presented, low-maintenance flat with attractive riverside views and strong transport links. It suits purchasers seeking a modern, commuter-friendly home or an investor wanting a straightforward, lettable two-bedroom in a managed development.
