A bright, chain-free two-bedroom apartment with two bathrooms and two private balconies, set within a modern 2003–2006 development in Abbey Wood. The open-plan living area and separate en-suite to the master provide practical, low-maintenance living for a commuter couple or first-time buyers wanting direct access to the Elizabeth Line and local amenities.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, double glazing, a communal landscaped garden and a long lease (circa 131–132 years). The property is compact at about 677 sq ft but arranged for everyday comfort and easy upkeep; neutral décor and good natural light make it move-in ready for many buyers.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context: the service charge is around £2,836 per year with a small ground rent of £220, heating is by electric room heaters which can be more expensive than central systems, and broadband speeds are average. The immediate area records very high crime and sits in a generally deprived local economy, so consider local safety and resale factors alongside the excellent transport links.
Nearby schools include several rated Good by Ofsted and a selection of shops, buses and the Elizabeth Line station within easy reach. For those prioritising transport and a long lease over a rural setting, this apartment offers a convenient, low-fuss base with clear potential to personalise and improve energy efficiency over time.
