Bright, modern one-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of Lamington Heights, offered with a private balcony and pleasant elevated city views. The open-plan reception integrates a contemporary fitted kitchen, while a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a modern bathroom completes the layout. At around 599 sq ft this is a comfortable home for a single buyer or couple and works well for someone seeking an easy-commute base into Canary Wharf or the City.
The building provides useful communal amenities including a concierge, residents' gym and a ninth-floor communal roof terrace, adding lifestyle value without leaving the development. Practical advantages include a long lease (242 years), very low flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — all attractive for first-time buyers and buyers wanting rental potential.
Buyers should note the running costs and local context: an annual service charge of £2,460 and ground rent of £250 per year apply, and heating is via a community scheme which can affect ongoing charges. The wider area is classed as deprived despite nearby schools with good and outstanding Ofsted ratings; local character suits young families and students rather than those seeking a quieter suburb.
Overall this well-maintained apartment offers turn-key contemporary living with commuter convenience and resident facilities. It suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for a modern, manageable property close to Langdon Park DLR, but factor in service charges and communal heating into your affordability calculations.
