Step inside this chain-free, first-floor two-bedroom flat and you’ll find a bright, turnkey home framed by wall-to-wall glazing and a private balcony overlooking well-kept communal gardens. The separate kitchen has space for dining, the bathroom and separate WC are modern, and fitted wardrobes in both double bedrooms add useful storage. At about 638 sq ft, the layout feels practical for first-time buyers seeking a comfortable city base.
Practical extras include gas central heating, double glazing, Hyperoptic superfast broadband, lift access, secure entry and resident parking permits. The building has recently undergone major works, including roof repairs, which provides added peace of mind. Transport is a genuine strength: Canada Water and Surrey Quays stations, river bus access at Greenland Pier, and frequent buses put the City and Canary Wharf within easy reach.
Be clear about the material facts: the property is leasehold, with a service charge of £2,236.10 (to April 2026) and a nominal ground rent of £10 per year. The immediate area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels — factors to weigh when considering long-term suitability and insurance or security needs. Council Tax sits in a very low band A, which helps running costs.
For first-time buyers, this flat offers a ready-to-move-in option close to improving local amenities and major regeneration plans for Canada Water. If proximity to riverside walks, fast connections and a maintained communal outdoor space appeal, this home is worth a viewing; buyers should factor in the leasehold costs and local area conditions when budgeting.
