Set on the 12th floor of a modern development in Woolwich, this one-bedroom apartment offers a bright open-plan living space, balcony with city views, and access to communal gardens. The property is chain-free with a long lease (975 years) and benefits from 24-hour security and concierge — practical comforts for someone seeking a secure, low-fuss home or a rental-ready asset.
Internally the flat is contemporary and turnkey: integrated appliances, wood-effect flooring and a modern tiled bathroom. The open-plan kitchen/reception is spacious for the size (approx. 592 sqft total), and the balcony brings extra light and a useful outdoor spot. Built in the early 2000s with double glazing and communal heating, the property is straightforward and low-maintenance in its core construction.
Notable costs and local context are important to weigh. Service charges are high at £4,300 per year and ground rent is £300 — factor these into running-cost calculations. The wider area has very high crime rates and is classed as very deprived, though public transport, shops and several good schools are within walking distance and mobile/broadband connectivity is strong.
This flat will suit a first-time buyer wanting a secure, ready-to-move-in home with good transport links, or an investor seeking a rental in a busy urban location. It isn’t ideal for buyers prioritising low service costs or a very low-crime neighbourhood, but it offers long lease security, contemporary fittings and convenient city access.
