Bright, practical living on a high floor with one of the building’s best outdoor spaces. The open-plan reception and kitchen open onto a large wrap-around roof terrace providing clear views to Canary Wharf and the City skyline — excellent for weekend entertaining or outdoor working. Both bedrooms are doubles; the principal benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
The building is secure with lift access, bike storage and good mobile signal. The flat is an average-sized 810 sq ft apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows that maximise daylight. The long lease (239 years) is a practical ownership feature for buyers seeking security without immediate lease-extension costs.
Be aware of recurring costs and local conditions. Annual service charge is approximately £2,700 and ground rent £300. The area records higher crime and is classed as deprived; buyers should factor this into travel, insurance and security decisions. Heating is via a community scheme and broadband speeds are average.
This property suits a buyer wanting a move-in-ready two-bedroom home with exceptional private outdoor space and easy access to Broadway Market, Regent’s Canal and local parks. It presents good potential for renters or future resale, but budget for service charges and local-area considerations when comparing options.
