This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a mid-20th-century block close to Ribbon Island, offered chain-free and with over 100 years remaining on the lease. At about 496 sq ft it suits a single occupant, couple or a buy-to-let investor seeking a compact, let property with an assured shorthold tenancy in place.
The flat has practical fixtures: UPVC double glazing, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a private garage plus a garden — useful extras that add rental appeal or everyday convenience. Service charge is indicated at £650 per year, which is below average for managed blocks of this era. EPC band D (68) reflects reasonable but not exceptional energy efficiency.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood context: local area classifications point to young ethnic communities and the wider area is described as ‘Asian terraces and flats’. The location scores high for mobile and broadband connectivity and offers many local amenities and schools, including several rated Good or Outstanding.
Material cautions are clear and factual: the building dates from 1967–75 and appears to have cavity walls with no installed insulation (assumed), so energy-efficiency improvements may be beneficial. Crime levels in the area are reported as high and the wider area is noted as very deprived — factors that affect resale and rental demand. The apartment is small in size and currently let, so owner-occupiers should allow for notice and tenancy arrangements.
