Modern seventh-floor apartment with balcony and direct DLR access.
East-facing 7th-floor apartment, 584 sq ft, bright open-plan layout
This seventh-floor, east-facing one-bedroom apartment in Gallions Reach offers 584 sq ft of bright, move-in ready living with contemporary finishes. The large double bedroom has fitted wardrobes and easily fits a super-king bed; the open-plan lounge, dining area and integrated kitchen suit daily living and occasional entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a full-width balcony face a quiet internal courtyard, giving outdoor space away from traffic noise.
Practical comforts include underfloor heating throughout, secure bike storage, a residents’ lounge and 24/7 concierge. Transport links are excellent: Gallions Reach DLR is steps away and the Elizabeth Line eight minutes’ travel, connecting quickly to Canary Wharf and Central London—a clear draw for commuters and investors.
The home is newly renovated and offered with a long lease (241 years) and reasonable council tax. Buyers should note the annual service charge of £2,350 and ground rent of £300. Heating is provided by a community scheme, which can mean communal management and variable running costs.
Location strengths are balanced by local context: the wider area is classed as deprived with above-average crime statistics. For purchasers prioritising low-maintenance, modern waterside living with superb transport links, this apartment represents good value; those seeking quieter, lower-crime neighbourhoods or private garden space should consider this when viewing.
