Modern riverside one-bedroom with long lease and excellent transport links..
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment with private balcony overlooking lagoon
Set on the third floor of the sought-after Royal Arsenal Riverside, this chain-free one-bedroom apartment delivers contemporary riverside living with a private balcony overlooking the lagoon. The 25ft open-plan kitchen/reception room and integrated appliances create a light, usable living space; the bedroom is a comfortable 13ft by 9ft. With double glazing and construction from the early 2000s, the apartment is ready to move into for buyers seeking low-maintenance, modern accommodation.
Residents benefit from an established community of amenities including 24/7 concierge and security, on-site gym, cafes, restaurants, Tesco Metro and Marks & Spencer. Excellent transport links (Woolwich Arsenal DLR, National Rail and Elizabeth Line) make this a strong option for commuters heading to Canary Wharf, the City or the West End. The development’s landscaped riverside setting and regular farmers’ markets add to the pleasant, village-like atmosphere.
Practical costs and tenure are favourable: a long lease of 975 years, low ground rent (£150 pa) and a service charge of approximately £1,848 pa (£184 pcm / £2,208 annually stated). Heating is provided via a community scheme and the property sits in a low-crime, low-flood-risk area with excellent broadband and mobile signal. Council tax is described as affordable.
Considerations: the property is leasehold with communal charges and a community heating system, which can mean ongoing service payments. Accommodation is sized for one or two occupants only — limited to a single bedroom and one bathroom — so buyers needing more space should note the layout. Overall, this is well-suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors wanting a modern, well-connected riverside flat with long lease security.
