Summary - Flat 308, Drift Court, 1 Basin Approach E16 2FE
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Bright fourth-floor flat with large balcony near Gallions Reach DLR.
Spacious 947 sq ft two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment
This spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment occupies approximately 947 sq ft on the fourth floor of a quiet modern development. The open-plan kitchen/reception area is bright and leads onto a large balcony — ideal for entertaining or relaxing with dockside views. Both bedrooms are good double rooms; the principal benefits from an en-suite shower room.
Practical features include double glazing, recent construction (2007–2011) and very low flood risk. The property is heated by electric room heaters and runs on electric fuel; there is no communal gas heating. Tenure is leasehold and council tax is above average — important for running costs.
Location is a strong selling point: moments from Gallions Reach DLR, the North Woolwich ferry and good connections to London City Airport. Local amenities include shops, supermarkets, cafés, a gym and open dockland spaces. Nearby schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding primaries and secondary options.
Buyers should note the area records above-average crime rates and is in a more deprived part of the borough, which may affect long-term resale values for some purchasers. The apartment’s electric heating and room heaters mean potential buyers should consider running costs and heating performance compared with gas systems. Overall, the flat suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a modern, well-sized two-bedroom with strong transport links and outdoor balcony space.
