Set on the 12th floor, this bright two-bedroom apartment offers open, light-filled living and a large balcony with East London and Thames views. The separate modern kitchen and generous reception room suit everyday living and entertaining. Windows are double-glazed and the flat feels contemporary inside.
The building is leasehold with around 100 years remaining. Service charge is approximately £2,321 per year and ground rent is £10. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the original cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so energy bills may be higher than modern standards.
Location is a key strength: close to King George V DLR and other TfL links, shops, cafes and community amenities. Nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good by Ofsted, supporting family and rental demand. Note the local area scores above-average crime and higher deprivation indices, which may affect buyer priorities and yields.
This property suits first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in flat with transport convenience, or investors looking for a city rental with strong commuter appeal. Be clear on ongoing service charges and potential energy-efficiency improvements before committing.
