Set on a handsome Victorian terrace, this generous one-bedroom garden flat offers spacious living and genuine period character. High ceilings, bay windows and decorative detailing give an open, airy feel, while the private entrance and sizeable rear garden add rare outdoor space for East London living.
The flat measures approximately 635 sqft and includes a modern kitchen and well-presented bathroom. Practical running costs are modest: a long lease of 121 years, low service charge (£150 pcm) and a small ground rent (£225 pa). Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent, supporting home working or streaming.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, the double glazing was installed before 2002, and parking is on-street by residents’ permit only. Local crime levels are above average for the area; however flooding risk is very low and council tax is inexpensive.
Transport and local amenities are strong selling points. Royal Wharf, Custom House, DLR and the Elizabeth Line are all within easy reach, connecting quickly to Canary Wharf and central London. The neighbourhood mixes riverside leisure with everyday shops, cafes and schools, making this a practical first home or a lettable investment with good transport links.
