This 11th-floor one-bedroom apartment in Hancock House offers a compact, contemporary home with notable transport convenience. The open-plan white gloss kitchen and dining space flows into a private winter garden that runs the length of the apartment, creating extra usable space and natural light. Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, landscaped podium gardens, and a children's play area.
Practical points suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors: the flat is 504 sq ft, served by lift access, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and an EWS1 is available. The long lease (984 years) and recent construction (post-2012) reduce major enfranchisement or urgent structural concerns. Heating and power come from a communal electricity scheme — check management and service charges before committing.
Be transparent about local trade-offs: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with a very high crime rating, which will affect desirability and rental yield stability. Interiors are average-sized and primarily modern, so there is limited scope for major extension without development consent. Overall this apartment is a practical, well-located option for buyers prioritising transport links and concierge-led building amenities, provided they accept the wider area socio-economic challenges.
