Top-floor one-bedroom with private roof terrace
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with a private roof terrace and separate bedroom balcony, offering bright, compact living in East London. The open-plan living/dining area and dual-aspect windows maximise light; a recently refurbished bathroom and integrated kitchen appliances allow immediate move-in. Positioned close to Canary Wharf, the flat suits commuters or first-time buyers seeking strong local transport links.
Practical details: the property is chain-free and comes with a share of freehold and 103 years remaining on the lease. Service charge is approximately £2,400 per year and ground rent around £500. Heating is electric (ceiling heating) and the building has double glazing; these are convenient but may mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Location benefits include excellent DLR and Elizabeth Line access and a wide range of local amenities—cafes, leisure facilities and shops—within walking distance. Nearby schools include several good and outstanding primaries and a good-rated secondary, which supports family appeal despite the immediate area showing higher-than-average crime and significant deprivation.
This apartment is best for a first-time buyer or investor looking for a low-maintenance, ready-to-live-in central London pied-à-terre with outdoor space. Buyers should budget for the ongoing service charge, ground rent and potentially higher electricity heating costs; the property presents straightforward rental or owner-occupier potential close to Canary Wharf.
