This immaculate one-bedroom apartment on the 13th floor offers bright waterside living with uninterrupted views over Southmere Lake. The flat is part of a new-build development with concierge, co-working spaces and communal leisure rooms — practical amenities for modern city life and working from home.
The location is a major commuter draw: Abbey Wood station is a short walk away with fast connections to Canary Wharf (around 11 minutes), Bond Street and London City Airport. At 554 sq ft the apartment provides generous single‑bedroom accommodation for first-time buyers seeking a well-specified, low-maintenance home in zone-accessible south-east London.
Buyers should weigh local context as well as conveniences. The wider area is classified as deprived with a high recorded crime level; that may affect resale perceptions and day-to-day feel. Schools nearby are mixed in performance, from Outstanding to Requires Improvement, so check catchment details for families.
Practical positives include a very long lease (996 years), very low flood risk and fast broadband/mobile signal. As a new build, the property should need minimal immediate works, but proximity to ongoing regeneration means services and neighbourhood character may change over time.
