At around 560 sq ft, the home is best suited to single buyers, couples, or a small family seeking an entry-level purchase with strong transport links and local amenities.
Buyers should note important context about the area: local deprivation indicators and very high crime rates in the wider neighbourhood may affect suitability for some purchasers. The apartment is leasehold — prospective buyers should confirm lease length, ground rent and service charge details before committing. EPC rating C and the building’s modern construction (c.1996–2002) are practical positives.
Overall this is an affordable, commuter-focused home offering immediate occupation potential and rental/investment appeal, provided buyers accept the compact floor area and urban neighbourhood characteristics.
