Set on the third floor of East Carriage House, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, modern home for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The open-plan living space flows onto a private balcony that overlooks a landscaped courtyard with water features, giving a sense of privacy and calm in an inner‑city setting. Residents benefit from a concierge and gym on site.
Practical running costs are a clear strength: the lease has approximately 109 years remaining, reported nil ground rent and a low service charge (£265.40 pa for 2025). The development sits within easy walking distance of Woolwich Arsenal DLR and the Elizabeth line, with supermarkets, shops and cafés close by — useful for daily commuting and amenities.
Be aware of local issues: recorded crime levels are above average for the area. The apartment forms part of a community heating scheme (mains gas) and is a mid-rise, system-built block from the mid‑2000s; buyers should expect standard management arrangements and communal maintenance. The balcony is small-to-average and the flat is best suited to single occupants or couples rather than families.
This property presents straightforward entry to London ownership or an investment opportunity with an indicated rental yield. It’s a practical, low-maintenance home for buyers after good transport links and communal facilities, provided they accept inner‑city surroundings and the reported crime profile.
