Summary - 58, Portland Place DA9 9FE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free, first-floor apartment with lift access and allocated parking.
Front-line River Thames views from two private balconies
This bright one-bedroom apartment occupies the first floor of a contemporary development on Portland Place, with uninterrupted views across the River Thames. The open-plan living area flows to a private balcony, and the double bedroom has its own balcony — useful extra outdoor space for relaxing or drying laundry. The home totals about 585 sq ft and includes lift access, allocated off-street parking and two useful storage cupboards.
The property is offered chain-free and has an exceptionally long lease (979 years), which reduces typical leasehold concerns. Important running costs to note: an average annual service charge of £2,645 and ground rent of £292. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs and buyer preference. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is average.
Ingress Park provides well-kept communal grounds, local events at The Abbey, nearby riverside walks and convenient links: Greenhithe station is about a 15-minute walk with services into central London. The mix of local amenities — shops, cafés, bus links to Bluewater and nearby pubs — makes this a practical first home or an investor let with good tenant appeal.
The apartment is modern, built 2003–2006, and double-glazed; cosmetic updating can personalise the layout but no immediate structural or flood risk issues are recorded. Schools nearby include several rated Good and one requiring improvement, so families should check individual school suitability.
Overall, this is a well-located, low-risk one-bedroom with genuine river views and outdoor space — a straightforward move-in or rental opportunity balanced by leasehold costs and electric heating considerations.
