The property is leasehold (171 years remaining) with service charges of approximately £149.90 pcm (about £1,798.80 pa) and a peppercorn ground rent. The apartment footprint is average (circa 487 sq ft), so storage and space should be judged against other one-bedroom options. The development was built around 1996–2002 and has cavity insulation and modern glazing.
The neighbourhood is an urban cultural mix with average crime levels and pockets of deprivation; prospective buyers should visit at different times to judge the area. Overall, this flat offers straightforward, low-maintenance central-London living with commuter convenience and strong appeal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
