A bijou top-floor one-bedroom apartment, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a bright, low-maintenance base close to transport. The south-facing reception room fills the flat with daylight and sits opposite a quiet, landscaped communal area, giving a sense of calm despite the central E14 location. The separate kitchen and clear layout make the most of 417 sq ft while keeping living and sleeping areas distinct.
Practical strengths include an extended lease of 114 years, residents' parking and very good digital connectivity — fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — which suit home-working and streaming. The building is modern brick construction (circa 1996–2002) with double glazing; the interior shows contemporary laminate floors and neutral finishes so minimal immediate works are likely.
Buyers should note the apartment uses electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which can mean higher heating costs. Service charge and ground rent are ongoing costs: roughly £2,040 per year service charge and a small ground rent of £200. The overall size is compact at 417 sq ft, so storage and entertaining space are limited; this is a one-bedroom home rather than a family flat.
Positioned a short walk from Mudchute DLR, the flat offers swift links to Canary Wharf and the City, making it attractive to commuters or buy-to-let investors. Its quiet low-rise development and proximity to parks and good primary schools add to its lifestyle appeal. For buyers who prioritise location, low maintenance and a long lease, this is a sensible, well-located starter home or rental opportunity.
