Chain-free top-floor one-bedroom with balcony and open-plan living — ideal for first-time buyers.
Top-floor one-bedroom with private balcony
A compact, chain-free top-floor one-bedroom apartment offering practical, modern living in West Thamesmead. The 25ft open-plan reception and kitchen, fitted with integrated appliances, gives surprisingly spacious daytime living and opens onto a private balcony overlooking communal gardens — a welcome outdoor spot for a small table or plants.
The bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in storage; the bathroom is a modern three-piece suite with underfloor heating. Practical features include a hall storage/utility cupboard, lift access, secure phone-entry and good broadband speeds. The property sits on a 120-year lease and is offered as shared ownership, which can lower the initial purchase cost for first-time buyers.
Buyers should note the apartment is part of a managed development with an average service charge (approx. £1,900 pa) and annual ground rent of £300. Heating is provided through a community scheme rather than an individual boiler, which affects bills and control. Crime levels in the area are higher than average — consider local security and lifestyle needs.
Overall this apartment suits a single occupant or couple seeking an affordable entry onto the property ladder with good transport links to Plumstead and Woolwich. It provides ready-to-live-in accommodation with modest room sizes and scope to personalise, but comes with typical leasehold and service-cost commitments.
