3 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright third-floor three-bedroom flat with excellent transport links.
Three double bedrooms and separate reception room
Private balcony with canal-facing outlook
About 938 sq ft of internal living space
Floor-to-ceiling/large windows provide strong natural light
Long lease remaining — 116 years
Service charge approximately £2,541 per year
Only one bathroom for three bedrooms; may suit sharers less well
Area has high crime rate and very deprived local classification
Light-filled three-bedroom flat on the third floor, arranged for practical city living. Large windows and an open-plan kitchen create an airy feel, while a small private balcony looks over the canal and communal landscaping. The long lease (116 years) and generous internal area (about 938 sq ft) suit buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home or a long-term lettable apartment.
This apartment will appeal to first-time buyers wanting space close to good transport links; Limehouse DLR is about 0.3 miles away providing fast access into the City. The building is modern (post-2012) with double glazing and a community heating scheme, so immediate major replacement works are unlikely.
Be aware of some practical negatives: there is only one bathroom for three double bedrooms, annual service charges are around £2,541, and Council Tax sits above average (Band E). The surrounding area records higher-than-average crime and sits within a very deprived local area classification, which may affect resale or rental yields for some buyers.
Overall this is a well-presented, efficiently planned apartment offering strong transport links, a long lease and canal-side outlook. It is best suited to buyers prioritising space and location over a rural or quiet setting, or investors targeting city tenants who value modern fittings and easy commutes.
