A bright one-bedroom apartment on the 8th floor of Barquentine Heights, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking modern, low-maintenance city living. The open-plan lounge with integrated kitchen flows onto a south-facing balcony, bringing good natural light and a pleasant urban outlook rather than waterfront views. The double bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and there is useful extra storage within the flat.
Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, an on-site gym and bicycle storage, plus nearby shops, cinema and riverside amenities in Greenwich Millennium Village. Transport links are strong: North Greenwich (Jubilee), local DLR and Elizabeth Line connections are all readily accessible, which will suit commuters to Canary Wharf and central London.
The apartment is leasehold with a long lease (986 years) and modern construction (post-2012) served by a community heating scheme. Note the running costs: an average service charge of £3,000pa and ground rent of £300pa; factor these into your monthly budget. The property shows no flood risk and sits in an affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Overall this is a straightforward, contemporary one-bed in a well-serviced development. It suits a first-time buyer or investor looking for easy-city living and strong transport links, though buyers should allow for the ongoing service charges and communal heating arrangements.
