This spacious two-bedroom fifth-floor apartment offers a rare 948 sq ft layout in a modern 2012+ development, presented chain free and ready to move into. The open-plan kitchen/living area opens to a private balcony, while both bedrooms are double-sized with floor-to-ceiling windows and triple glazing providing good light and insulation.
Practical features include a long lease (181 years), no ground rent, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home. Local transport is strong: Gallions Reach DLR is a short walk, making Canary Wharf and central connections accessible. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby.
Costs and community aspects are clear: an annual service charge of about £2,600 covers the community heating and estate maintenance. Heating runs via a mains gas community scheme rather than individual boilers, so check billing arrangements and future costs. Council tax is above average for the area.
Be upfront about local context: the neighbourhood has higher-than-average crime statistics and higher area deprivation measures. For buyers prioritising space, transport links and a long lease in a modern building, this apartment represents good immediate use or lettable potential, but those sensitive to local socio-economic factors should view the area in person.
