Bright top-floor one-bed with long lease and riverside location, ideal for first-time buyers.
Top-floor one-bedroom with private balcony and river outlook
Set on the third (top) floor of a modern riverside development, this one-bedroom flat offers 580 sq ft of practical living space with secure entry and a private balcony overlooking waterfront walkways. The open-plan reception/kitchen plus glazed doors to the balcony create a bright living area; the bedroom includes an en suite bathroom and there's an additional cloakroom for convenience.
This property is offered with a very long lease (978 years) and a share of freehold, making it straightforward for buyers looking for long-term ownership or a buy-to-let. Transport links are strong: Gallions Reach and King George V DLR, London City Airport and quick road access into Canary Wharf and central London are all nearby. Local amenities, parks and well-rated schools add to everyday convenience.
Running costs are clear: there is an average service charge around £3,300 per year and ground rent of £350 per year. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property’s main fuel is electricity — this can mean higher energy costs compared with gas-heated homes. The flat is modern and neutrally presented but offers scope for personalisation if you want to increase rental appeal or add value.
Overall, this top-floor riverside apartment is well-suited to first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home near good transport, or investors seeking a long-lease riverside unit with straightforward tenure. Viewings will show how the balcony and riverside position add lifestyle value in this emerging waterside quarter.
