Set on the top floor of a contemporary building on Queens Road, this bright one-bedroom flat offers a practical, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer. The open-plan living area and modern kitchen are complemented by two balconies and a generous double bedroom with en-suite, making efficient use of 511 sq ft. Chain free sale and a long lease (118 years) simplify purchase logistics.
Transport is a clear strength: Queens Road station is moments away with frequent Overground and mainline services into central London. Local shops, cafés and eateries give immediate street-level convenience. Service charge and ground rent are low-moderate (£178 pa service charge; £250 pa ground rent), and council tax is described as affordable.
Buyers should be aware of notable neighbourhood challenges. The location sits within an area recorded as very deprived and with a high local crime rate, which may affect resale prospects and day-to-day feel. The building’s walls are system-built with internal insulation and the property was constructed before 1900, so buyers may wish to check construction details, insurance and any future maintenance obligations.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented apartment with strong transport links and a long lease, suited to a buyer seeking a central, well-connected first home or a lettable investment, provided they are comfortable with the broader area characteristics.
