A modern, well-specified one-bedroom apartment in Upper Riverside, Greenwich Peninsula, ideal for a first-time buyer or city professional. The open-plan living area opens onto a small balcony with garden and distant Thames glimpses, and the apartment benefits from triple glazing, underfloor heating and an EPC B for efficient year-round comfort.
Residents enjoy an extensive leisure offering: two gyms, 20m pool, spa/steam, cinema, private dining, roof terraces and 24-hour concierge — useful extras that suit social city living and reduce the need for external gym or leisure subscriptions. North Greenwich tube, bus services, river pier and the IFS cable car are all within a short walk, giving quick links to Canary Wharf, the City and London City Airport.
Be clear about long-term costs and the setting: the flat is leasehold (231 years recorded), with an above-average service charge (£4,130 pa) and a relatively high ground rent (£563 pa). The immediate neighbourhood records high crime levels and local area deprivation is noted as very deprived; buyers should factor this into location choice and insurance considerations.
Overall this is a compact, move-in-ready city apartment that trades private outdoor space for excellent communal facilities and transport convenience. It suits a buyer seeking a well-connected first home or a buy-to-let asset, provided they accept the leasehold costs and local area issues.
