Balcony with river views and large light-filled windows
A bright one-bedroom first-floor apartment with a balcony and direct river views, set within the modern Galleons Lock development. The open-plan living room and kitchen benefits from large windows and laminate flooring, creating a light, low-maintenance living space ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
Practical features include lift access, 24-hour security/estate office, free residents’ permit parking and fast broadband availability. The building has an EPC rating of B and the long lease (approx. 172 years remaining) gives ownership security. Local transport is strong: Gallions Reach and King George V DLR are within walking distance with links to the Elizabeth Line.
Notable costs and running details are clear: an average service charge of £3,292pa and a nominal ground rent (£1) apply. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives and may suit those with off-peak electricity tariffs. The apartment is presented in contemporary condition but buyers should note the service charge level when assessing investment yield or monthly costs.
Overall this is a maintenance-light, well-located one-bed apartment offering immediate rental or owner-occupier potential, strong transport links and lasting lease length — balanced by running costs from service charges and electric heating.
