This bright fifth-floor flat offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Woolwich with a modern open-plan reception and fitted kitchen. The layout is compact but well planned, giving a comfortable double bedroom and a sleek bathroom — good for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let investor seeking central transport links.
The building was constructed in the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and a secure entrance. The 128-year lease provides long-term ownership certainty. At 537 sq ft the apartment is an average-sized one-bedroom with simple finishes; minimal immediate work is needed beyond personal cosmetic updating.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas systems and may affect running costs. The property is in a neighbourhood classified as deprived with a very high local crime rate; buyers should factor safety and insurance implications into their decision. Transport links (DLR, rail, Elizabeth Line) and a wide range of nearby shops and amenities are major conveniences for daily life and commuting.
Nearby schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding primary — useful for buyers with education needs. Overall this is a pragmatic, well-located one-bedroom suited to someone seeking an affordable, well-connected home or a rental opportunity, provided they accept the area's social challenges and the electric heating arrangement.
