Recently refurbished and ready to move into, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat combines contemporary finishes with practical everyday living. The bright reception and new kitchen create an open, comfortable space suitable for relaxing or working from home. Double-glazed windows and presented décor reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Practical aspects suit a first-time buyer or investor: the lease has about 119 years remaining, annual service charge is £1,266.12 and ground rent is £200 per year. The apartment is compact at 471 sq ft, so storage and space planning are important considerations, though a large entrance cupboard helps.
The location is a major selling point — a short walk to Woolwich Dockyard Station and direct buses to North Greenwich (Jubilee Line). Riverside walks, local shops and a range of amenities are close by, and transport links include the DLR and Elizabeth Line for central London access.
Be aware of a few material considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, and the wider area is classified as deprived despite low crime and very low flood risk. These facts affect running costs and longer-term resale context. Overall this is a competitively priced, low-maintenance flat that will particularly appeal to first-time buyers seeking a renovated, well-connected home or investors after a turnkey rental opportunity.
