This modern one-bedroom apartment occupies an upper level within Tinderbox House and offers a practical 571 sq ft of open-plan living. The layout maximises space with a contemporary kitchen, integrated appliances and a large private balcony overlooking landscaped grounds — an easy spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
The home is well-specified for urban life: lift access, EPC B energy rating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Transport links are a major strength — Deptford mainline and nearby DLR/overground connections provide quick routes to Canary Wharf and central London, making the flat a sensible choice for commuters and first-time buyers.
Buyers should note the material running costs and local context. The property is leasehold with 240 years remaining; the annual service charge is substantial (about £3,365) and ground rent is £508 pa. Heating is provided via a community scheme, which can affect bills and control. The wider area records high crime and high deprivation indices, which may concern some purchasers despite local regeneration and many nearby amenities.
Nearby primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings, and local cultural and green attractions such as Greenwich are within easy reach. With a long lease, modern specification and strong transport links, the apartment suits first-time buyers seeking a well-connected city base who accept the service charges and local social challenges.
